Worth playing? Who would you say this game most appeals to in relation to other games, IE "Demons Crest would greatly appeal to fans of _____"

This is as good and as hard you would expect from a Ghost 'n Goblins.
The secret boss is insane.

Will be forever ingrained into my memory.

How the fuck do you beat the werewolf boss in the ice level

So besides The Castlvania and The Ghost n' Goblins series, what other games are there like Demons Crest? I don't really mean gameplay-wise, but instead dark, Gothic, creepy, possibly underrated, and especially with music like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOzkzx1RKgw It is so good. I cannot get over it. How did they make so much based music for one SNES title? Where is the revival Capcom, holy fuck.

Gargoyle's Quest II and Demon's Crest

Is this game any good? And why the hell is it so expensive? Also, General fuck eBay prices thread

Playing this right now.

Demons Crest thread!
This game clearly was not as good as the major titles Nintendo had to offer at the time but is still to this day my favorite game on the SNES aside from the Mario games. If it didn't compete with Donkey Kong Country it would most likely be more popular

I would say Demon's Crest. It looks absolutely incredible, sounds amazing, plays great, has a high level of challenge, lots of content. That game blew me away.

Other notable mentions.

>Super Mario World. Amazes me that this was a launch title since it's one of the best-looking and sounding games on the system. A little easy, but lots of secrets and it set the new standard for Super Mario Bros games by being more exploration-focused rather than arcade-style.
>The Ninja Warriors. Amazing beat 'em up and one of the best single player experiences on the system.

>sidescrollers are usually fairly short
there's a difference between a good short sidescroller and a bad one though. a good short game has hidden bonuses and alternate endings that give the game a lot of replay value even if the standard ending is pretty easy to beat.
