: Grab your long sword and get ready to conquer mythical monsters of epic proportions! Similar to the classic Golden Axe, Lucifer Ring is an import 3D side-scrolling fighting game that pits daring hero Cue Nash against an evil skeleton antagonist with multiple forms of evil at his disposal. Presented with flashy anime story sequences, this rare bash-em-up is headlined with numerous elemental spells, potions and a rich combo system that will please any brave gamer.
From the review, "Lucifer Ring is a fantasy themed beat-em-up in the same vein as Battletoads, Double Dragon, and Battletoads & Double Dragon. You play as some guy named Nash according to the remaining lives counter on the HUD. Nash wears red armor and carries a sword that would make Cloud jealous. Presumably Nash is out trying to save the world from certain destruction from the evil forces of something or other."
As a game, Lucifer Ring is surprisingly addictive with enough challenge to keep gamers interested. Time has not been kind to this title (the blocky, low-res graphics are an eyesore), but the non-stop action and the strange cast of enemies (i.e. giant eyeballs with legs) are enough to compel you to press forward. The gameplay is relatively simple as you rapidly tap the Square button to hack your enemies into pieces. You can also perform a strong attack with your sword by pressing and holding the X button, but you must be close enough to your enemy for it to work properly.
Realm of Gaming states, "MonkeyPaw Games announced on January 21, 2014 that Lucifer Ring, a class beat-’em-up game, is now available for $5.99 USD on the PlayStation Network."
was gonna get this but got Ledgend of Mana and FF6, instead. first time playing both of them. this looked cool but looks like its gonna have to wait.
p.s. Blade Dancer for $7-8 for the PSP is a hidden gem, imo.
