Interesting action-platformer game which reminds me somewhat of Leander (AKA Legend of Galahad). Choose from 3 mighty heroes and embark on a quest to rid the world of the deadly Manax, collecting all kinds of magic potions and items along the way.
Each of the three characters on offer has three attacks: standard, powerful, plus one when crouching. Crouching also instigates an automatic block, which deflects enemy blows and also causes certain enemies to turn around and go the other way. Of the three, the huntress has the longest jump, plus gets a really cool crossbow when purchasing the armour upgrade; this is the character I chose for this video.
This is the kind of game where you'll want to run into walls to check if there might be a hidden passageway or secret. There's a level warp hidden at the end of the first scene in level 1, which I've added as a chapter at the end of the video.
Some additional notes:
1) The two gems above the player's health bar represent your attack power. Collecting mystical sparkles upgrades your attack power, causing the gems to glow; dying will lose an attack charge.
2) Using a Midas ring turns any on-screen enemy into a bag of silver. A good strategy to earning cash is to herd the goblin enemies using your block move, then using a ring to spawn tons of cash; it's something I do a number of times throughout the video.
