ActRaiser is a 1990 SNES Action-Simulation game developed by Quintet and published by Enix (now Square Enix) that combines traditional side-scrolling platform game sections with urban planning god game sections. ActRaiser was released for the Wii's Virtual Console download service on April 13, 2007 in Europe and May 28, 2007 in North America.

The gameplay of Actraiser alternates between side-scrolling action and overhead-view "god" simulation. Typically, the player uses his sword to fight through a side-scrolling level with monsters and an end-boss.

According to the instruction booklet, the world is maintained by a deity known as "The Master." Tanzra, referred to as "The Evil One", is the eternal enemy of The Master and wishes to conquer the world. His six Guardians attacked The Master in a battle that lasted several days. After the battle, The Master retreated to his Sky Palace, which floats in the sky atop a cloud, to tend to his grave injuries. He erected a barricade and fell into a long and deep sleep. With The Master incapacitated, Tanzra divided the world into six lands, each ruled by one of his guardians. The Master awoke several hundred years later with his injuries completely healed, but his power had been removed as the people turned towards evil. He removed his barrier from the Sky Palace, determined to free the world from The Evil One.
