There were a few spits and spots like Irem's incredible YoYo's Puzzle Park (possibly my favourite PS1 game), Nightmare In The Dark and Penguin Bros, but that's about it. To my thinking there was the Bubble Bobble series, Tumble Pop and its ilk, the Snow Bros trilogy and then one-offs like Rodland, Saboten Bombers and Berlin Wall (yes, I'm including Space Panic derivatives, and this is easily the best one).īasically there were a ton of games where the loop was:ġ) Do a thing to incapacitate an enemy or enemies and then.Ģ) Do another thing to finish them off before they escape from said first thing.Īnd then, the genre pretty much vanished. The guild houses an enormous number of henchmen, ranging from well-armed guards to giant mechanoid monsters, working under the command of the Etherious.So, back in the 80's and early 90's you couldn't move for single-screen platform games. According to Erik, all members of Tartaros are Demons from the Books of Zeref that united under the command of Mard Geer in order to "return to Zeref".

A third member, Seilah, was able to kill one a former member of the Magic Council, Yuri, singlehandedly without any apparent wound or a scratch to his body. Another member, Jackal, single-handedly killed the entirety of the Magic Council (with the exception of Doranbolt) in a few explosions. One of their members, the Devil Slayer Silver, was able to freeze the entire Sun Village, its giant occupants, and even the Fire Dragon Atlas Flame, alone. Though most of them are unaware, they wanted to return to Zeref in order to kill him. They would then with their Master return to their creator Zeref. The reason for their intent to take away Magic from the continent is so that they can gather Curse Power in order to revive their "Master", E.N.D. The goal of Tartaros is to use a weapon called Face to wipe out all Magic from the continent. This castle itself is located on a floating island, named, as well as shaped like a, Cube. Whether they are part of the natural landscape or were put there is unknown. Surrounding the Tartaros headquarters and protruding from the rock are a number of spines, these appearing quite large in size.

At the gate to the castle stand two large statues. The two main bodies of the castle are noticeably squarer in shape and decorated with numerous crenulations, whilst the turrets and roof of the castle are more curved, their balustrade lined with decorative machicolations and their spires topped with fancy ornaments. The structure itself is very big in size, containing at least three separate sections all atop one another. Standing among the rocky landscape, the building takes the form of a giant, slight ruined, castle. The Tartaros guild convenes in a large building located in what appears to be a barren wasteland. In the aftermath of the war with Fairy Tail, Mirajane Strauss went through the entire fortress of Cube and devoured all of the souls of the Demons that inhabited it, now able to utilize them in the form of her Take Over: Satan Soul. Utilizing the tome, the Demon united the majority of Zeref's Etherious together to create Tartaros (supposedly naming the guild after himself), and falsified a creed for them to follow, stating that it was all "E.N.D.'s will", all in an effort to hone in on and kill Zeref, per their genetic order. was actually alive, not sealed, as Natsu Dragneel. the Master of the Dark Guild, not knowing that E.N.D. The Dark Guild was founded by Mard Geer Tartaros, who had located E.N.D.'s tome at some point during a four hundred year span by complete chance Mard Geer named E.N.D.
