Short description
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.
About this game
Crystal Gaiden Origins is a side-scrolling action platformer with a bold 8-bit aesthetic, pulsing chiptunes, and razor-sharp gameplay. Play as a rogue warrior fighting through burning cities, buried ruins, high-tech research facilities, and an active orbital elevator primed to unleash a doomsday weapon — all in a collapsing sci-fi world. Tear through rebel strongholds with advanced weaponry, and strike down your former brothers in the imperial army using forbidden powers buried in the past — all while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the one you love. Trigger a berserk system that boosts your strength at the cost of your own health — every strike a sacrifice to bring her back. A tribute to the 80s–90s era of NES action platformers — from Ninja Gaiden and Shatterhand to Castlevania and Shadow of the Ninja. Features: 8-bit graphics Side-scrolling Action Platformer Sharp controls 6 levels 5 Sub Weapons 20+ types of enemies
