Game Description
Embark on a high-flying, sword-swinging adventure in Demon Sword for the NES, a 1990 action-platformer developed by TOSE and published by Taito. As Victar, a nimble warrior clad in red, you'll journey through perilous landscapes to reassemble the shattered Demon Sword and vanquish the Dark Fiend terrorizing the land. With gravity-defying jumps, expanding weaponry, and a variety of magic spells, this game offers a challenging experience reminiscent of classic ninja tales.
Gameplay Features
- Traverse seven diverse stages, each culminating in intense boss battles.
- Collect sword fragments to enhance your weapon's reach and power.
- Master a range of magic spells and power-ups to aid in combat.
- Utilize agile movements, including mid-air direction changes and treetop navigation.
- Engage in fast-paced action with a mix of melee and ranged attacks.
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Originally released in Japan as Fudou Myouou Den, the North American version of Demon Sword was significantly altered, featuring fewer stages and simplified mechanics. Notably, the Western box art depicted a muscular barbarian, contrasting sharply with the game's actual protagonist—a lithe, kimono-clad warrior.
