This is the US version of the game.ĭemon's Crest (CAPCOM, SNES VC) - 7.99/£5.49įrom a lowly enemy in the Ghosts n Goblins series, to spin-off Gargoyles Quest, Firebrand the demon now finds himself fighting to restore peace in the demon realm. Axelay is renowned for its excellent arcade-style graphics, high quality sound, and intense yet rewarding gameplay developed by Konamis masters of the shooter genre. Use your wide range of weaponry across vertical and horizontal scrolling stages from planets of flame to sprawling space stations on your way to destroying the aliens base. Pilot the prototype Axelay ship against a mysterious alien armada intent on conquering the galaxy. I definite recommend checking out all three games, as they are arguably some of the best games Capcom has produced in the genre in my opinion. You had an overworld and town with NPCs to talk to and even random platforming battles in the original.

Demon's Crest also dialed the RPG mechanics back a bit, which the series also used to sport. This kind of changes the feel of the game a bit, but they adapted the levels for it and made it more action-oriented to compensate a bit. In this third and final instalment, your wing-strength has been perfected and you can hover for an infinite amount of time. Because the series is centred around hovering and clinging to walls, it has a very unique dynamic where levels can twist and turn in every single direction, and floors become completely optional. Since you are heavy though, your wings can't carry your weight well, so you can't fly for very long until you upgrade them. What you instead excel at is clinging to walls, and using your wings to 'fly' (read: hover) in horizontal lines. You are a gargoyle, so your moveset and mobility is very stiff feeling.

It's a platforming series with a neat twist. Click to expand.It's the third and final instalment of the Gargoyle's Quest series.
