Action-platformer where you hack through undead armies as a fallen king resurrected to stop his traitorous advisor. You run, jump, and slash through levels packed with enemies using sword combos and shield blocks. The armor system is the hook: take a hit and you lose a piece of gear, eventually fighting in boxer shorts until the next strike kills you. Run out of lives and the Grim Reaper demands Death Coins to continue, with the price climbing each time you fail. Combat leans on timing attacks and managing your defensive layers rather than button-mashing. Levels throw waves of monsters at you in arena-style encounters. The game sits in the Ghosts'n Goblins universe with character art by Susumu Matsushita. Expect old-school difficulty where positioning and pattern recognition matter more than raw reflexes.
