Description

Far away in peaceful Angel Land lived a young angel warrior named Pit, who has been given the task of defeating the monsterous Medusa, who wishes to destroy Angel Land and all of the people, and she has started by kidnapping the Princess of Angel Land.

Young Pit must rescue the Princess and restore peace to Angel Land. He will travel from the deep caverns of the Underworld to Medusa's palace in the sky on his journey, and deadly monsters will attack him every step of the way. But he has the power of the Gods on his side! A powerful bow and arrows, Water of Life, and Angel Feathers will assist Pit on his quest to destroy Medusa and save the princess!

With your help, Pit will prevail and save Angel Land!
