Demon's Crest

STORY / GAMEPLAY
The story takes place in two different worlds: the human world and the demons world, that used to co-exist in peace. Years later, six valuable and powerful crests: water, air, earth, time and heaven, fell from the sky and landed on Earth, making the demons obsessed by the powers hidden inside them. A traitorous demon called Phalanx managed to make fool of Fireband and seize the crests for himself, aiming to gain power and rule the demons world! The outcome of his action was a bloody war among demons. Firebrand must now find and regain all 6 elemental crests. The flying demon travels through the realm trying to get his strength back (by finding health potions and crests) in order to spot and confront Phalanx inside his own castle. It's a non-linear quest, with most of the levels, including the final castle, opened from the very start. Firebrand attacks with his magic powers and he can also fly using his wings. Demon's Crest is a great 2D platform game with intense action that never gets boring.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The visuals are great, with nicely animated sprites and smooth background scrolling. All textures are greatly done and give an eerie and creepy atmosphere to the game. The game's sound is also great, offering some nice sampled sound effects along with a very decent music score.
