Inside Crystal Gaiden Origins
What it is
Crystal Gaiden Origins is a hardcore 8-bit action platformer inspired by the brutal edge of NES-era classics. Slash through rebels, ex-allies, dark ancient technology, and a crumbling empire in chiptune-fueled missions. Inspired by Ninja Gaiden, Shatterhand, and Castlevania.
