Game Introduction

This is a side-scrolling, role-playing action type game. Your character gains experience points for every enemy it kills and increasing levels grants the player more health and other benefits. Some of the levels scroll upwards and across, down and across and some are setup to be mazes. You are fighting your way to a demon who has captured the princess of the land.

Game Play

When starting a game, players choose one of four different characters: a thief, a priest, a fighter and a mage. Each character has its own different strengths and weaknesses, including the ability to use magical spells, etc.
