A cult game from Сapcom, already become a classic of Super Nintendo. To all lovers of evil spirits, demonic games, and generally good fighters will be an excellent choice. Excellent atmospheric realization, which is achieved through a chic combination of quality graphics and music. The main character of the game already shone in such interesting games as Gargoyle's Quest on GameBoy and Nes and in the legendary hardcore series Ghosts' N Goblins, which is also on this console. However, this daemon reached the heights of perfection precisely on Snes. The whole story of the game is built on mysterious stones, which symbolize various elements - fire, earth, water, air, time, the sky - and give their owners enormous power. These stones appeared in the demonic world, and a fierce struggle developed between the offspring of hell. In this struggle, the most successful demon was Firebrand. But in the course of all the searches and in the struggle for the last element of the sky, he was badly wounded by Dragon demon, which was also used by another cunning offspring named Phalanx. After selecting the moment, he threw a fireball at Firebrand and threw it into the Colosseum to be torn to the same demon Dragon, with which our character fought earlier.
All the elements were again lost, but, however, our hero had a piece of fire stone, with which he must survive in this world of sadness, sadness, hatred and the universal symbol of evil. The game can be played in a very short time, but hardly for you, it will be a good ending. In all, it has four endings, and in order to open the truth for our demon, we need to collect all the available items and elements in this demonic adventure. Very interesting and atmospheric history is recommended to familiarize all lovers of the legendary classics.Demon's Crest for me is a masterpiece of clean water, although there are unique people who do not understand anything, they will call the game boring, uninteresting or even more sloppy. Then the era abounded with heroes-handsome, fighting with demons, well, and then everything is the other way around, you immediately play as demons - a pure symbol of evil, causing fear and horror, there was already a reason to call the game an evil word. Well, in principle, he himself sinned, until he figured out the whole thing. so they flew!The main character of the game already shone in such interesting games as Gargoyle's Quest on GameBoy and Nes and in the legendary hardcore series Ghosts' N Goblins. Below you can see his little evolution.As for me, the heights of perfection, this demon has reached exactly on Snes. The whole story of the game is built on mysterious stones, which symbolize various elements - fire, earth, water, air, time, the sky - and give their owners enormous power. These stones appeared in the demonic world, and a fierce struggle developed between the offspring of hell. In this struggle, the most successful demon was Firebrand. But in the course of all the searches and in the struggle for the last element of the sky, he was badly injured by the dragon Somulo, which was also used by another cunning offspring under the name Phalanx. After selecting the moment, he threw a fireball at Firebrand and threw it into the Colosseum to be torn to the same dragon Somulo, with which our character fought earlier. All elements were lost again, but, however, our hero had a piece of fire stone with which he must survive in this world of sadness, sadness, hatred and the universal symbol of evil.
All this atmosphere is transmitted very opportunely through the gothic style of the game and very dark music, it is only necessary to get used to it. Stylistics is really unique and at times a little repellent!The originality of the game is that you can fly at any time and tear off the backside of the main villain. The game can be played in a very short time, but this is unlikely to be a good ending. In total, the game has four endings, and in order to open the truth and some philosophical truth for our demon, we need to collect all the available items and elements in this demonic adventure.I recommend, of course, to look for all the elements, not just for the best ending, it's almost like Super Metroid, finding new opportunities for the hero, you open up new places and fauna. And the ranges here really fascinate, each of them unique and provides very interesting specimens of demonic creatures. The game is not complicated, the balance is honed to the millimeter.
