You know, for a game as dull as this one...it's pretty awesome in its own way. I mean, you're a muscle-bound Aryan man who punches goblins and bats (on his horse, no less), and the end has you hadoukening a gigantic demon. It knew what we liked in terms of its premise, but GOD did this game look tedious to play.
Reactions: 0:10 - MORE GODDAMN CASTLE?! Please god, make it stop! 0:33 - Dude! Pause it here. Same sprite, different heads! That's why the hero isn't wearing a fucking shirt! Happens again at 0:533:40 - THANK GOD the maze running is over! 4:08 - Hadouken! 7:45: Princess: "What happened to your shirt?" Hero: "Shirts are for wimps. You don't want to be a wimp, do you?" Princess: "...What?" Hero: "Your shirt. Take it off." (Long uncomfortable silence occurs)
Ok, Ive been seeing a lot of videos on how difficult old school games for Amiga were. But this is just pathetic... Hercules one-hit kill punches to everything? The guy looks like a dork in brown socks and mailman shorts.
For its time, this was a fantastic game. As a 14-year-old I used to play this game and it would send shivers down my spine with each new level I reached. Amiga games rock!
@xxxPULSE8xxx Absolutely agree with you.Bad comments here give the guys who were born after 1993,after the beatufil Amiga time and the boys who expect every game to look like Crysis and are accustomed to similar games.But,remember this that in the game most important is play joy not graphics or else.There are many examples who approved this.Bye from Macedonia
@OldSkoolStudio Well Wrath of the Demon was released before Shadow of the Beast 3, but of course Demon was released after Beast 1 so i will agree instrumentally it sounds much more like Beast 1 than Beast 3 ;)
The 31 year old man who now owns a PS3 and a Wii is looking with a dissapointment at a game called Wrath of the Demon. Horrible graphics, repetitive gameplay, total disaster. He instantly remembers how many sleepless nights he spent playing this game when he was a teenager and nostalgia kicks in.
Shadow of the Beast, Elvira, Kick off, Final fight, Cabal, Toki... AMIGA IMMORTAL!!!
Wow! what an awesome game. I like it because it resembles Castlevania in graphics and style. Castlevania being my all time favorite horror slasher games. Thanks for posting 5/5 stars.
This has to be more than a clone of Shadow... - I mean even the instruments from the theme tune sound the same. Nice graphics for it's time, but the gameplay looks dull as hell, just like the original Shadow... lets be honest here guys, it was a pretty game with absolutely horrific gameplay. I much preferred the sequels puzzle elements, and Psygnosis went on to do some amazing games, but the original just sticks in my mind as being crud.
Well done on this, laffer; it's another excellent longplay.
I will have to get the emulator going again and give this game a try. It looks like a more action-oriented Shadow of the Beast, but that's no bad thing. And I'm a sucker for this art style.
Absolutely superb graphics for the Amiga, though it is an unabashed Shadow of the Beast clone (right down to the sound effect for punching enemies). Excellent play through, as always. 5*
Now that I come to think of it, I need to sell my Amiga 500, get an Amiga 2000HD, and also get a new boxed copy of Shadow of the Beast, because for some reason, the Commodore RAM card I have for the A500 doesn't work, and the SotB diskettes I have don't work anymore.

A 14 year old boy rushes home to play a four dickette game his friend gave him a copy of. What an introduction, graphics, action; he's blown away.

like many others are saying..this owes so much to shadow of the beast in music and gameplay you'd think it was part of the same game series.
