Magic Sword

The OG roguelike


Genre: action - hack n slash

Publisher: Capcom

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

One-player only, but you can collect an AI companion who attacks on their own. They appear randomly so you can't choose which one you use. This adds an element of chance and replayability. Reminds me of a roguelike such as Dead Cells Tons of loot to collect Very responsive controls and fast gameplay, albeit with a fair amount of slowdown Bosses have health bars like a brawler


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Simple structure - get stuff and go right Gather keys to open doors

Conan the barbarian motif

Boppin soundtrack
