I played a lot of Demon Sword growing up, but I don’t think I ever really knew what was going on. I understand that this game is a sequel to Legend of Kage, but I never played it. So there’s a good chance that I’m missing out on some of the intricacies of the story. What I do know is that you start out with a little stub of a sword and have to find and kill demons to get the parts of it back. You’re constantly being attacked on all sides by swarms of disposable minions, but it’s cool. You can jump about twenty times your own height to get out of the way.
I was going to show you a video of this game in action, but couldn’t find one that wasn’t terrible in one way or another. You’ll have to settle for a screenshot instead.
Playing it again now makes me realize how mediocre this game really was. It fits squarely into the category of ‘games I played a lot because I didn’t have money to buy anything else’.
