| 6 | The game is very basic and simple. You are the Sword Master, a nameless knight who is on a mission to rescue a princess who has been captured by evil forces. It's up to the knight to get to the enemy's castle by going through several stages. The Knight battles enemies with his sword and can platform over obstacles. Along the journey the hero gains access to a "wizard form" that uses magic for those situations where his sword won't exactly cut it. |
