Demon's Crest

Sadly, Capcom didn't expect the game to do so well, and quietly released a limited number of copies in the US. Sadder still, one can find this game on internet auctions for between 10 and 15 Dollars. If you have an SNES and the extra spare change, pick this game up. It will look good in your stack of high-quality SNES titles. I guarantee it.

The Capcom of old has surfaced once again! Not since Ghouls and Ghosts have I played a Capcom action game this good. Demon's Crest takes my all time favorite Gameboy game (Gargoyle's Quest) and kicks butt with it...SNES style! I'm so happy Nintendo let Capcom keep it gory. One of the years best for SNES!

Demon's Crest, con il suo design cupo, la varietà di azioni disponibili, l'equilibrio tra fasi di ricerca e esplorazione e le parti più intense degli scontri coi boss, rappresenta un grande miglioramento sotto ogni aspetto della serie di Gargoyle's Quest.

Part Ghouls 'n' Ghosts and part strategy game, Demon's Crest is a gruesome-looking, well-crafted adventure. You'll have a demonic good time!

Now I don't want to completely trash this cart. It's just that those two problems are the only disappointments in the entire game, so they stick out like a sore thumb. The actual gameplay is fantastic, with lots of items to find, secret rooms to explore and creepy monsters to fight. All of which are the markings of a great game.

Demon's Crest will probably be one of those sleeper games, similar to how the Game Boy Gargoyles' Quest was. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is top-notch. When you get the different forms, you have to go into a sub-screen, which interrupts the action a little. The audio is very well done and is good at setting the mood. You would do well to try this one out - you might be surprised.

Eindelijk een platform dat iets toevoegt aan het genre. De mogelijkheid om verschillende vormen aan te nemen, geeft het spel een extra dimensie. De graphisc zijn mooi en er er zijn aardig wat geheime levels. Demon's Crest is geen makkelijk spel dus ik denk dat je er een aardig tijdje mee zoet bent.

The graphics are truly amazing and detailed to the hilt. The design of the monsters, from the demons to the ghosts to the crafty bosses, will make you drool and the music will frighten you.

Demon's Crest is certainly a feast for the eyes and ears, but is it enough to overcome the difficulty and frustration?
