This is a wonderful action adventure game that many people haven't heard of, or have forgotten about completely. This is actually a sequel of the original Gameboy Gargoyle's Quest. (Great game as well)

I loved playing this game when it came out, and I still enjoy playing it today.
Developed by Capcom, so if you have played most Capcom NES games, you already know that this is probably a solid title.

The gameplay is like that of many NES sidescroller adventures (i.e. Megaman), however it is rather fast-paced and fluid and very challenging at the same time. The game allows you to acquire several power-ups and upgrades to Firebrand's arsenal which allow him to perform extraordinary new feats like stand on tornado's mid-air and create a gelatinous cover of spiked walls so he may rest and regain his stamina. The gameplay also incorporates some interesting and entertaining puzzle-solving elements, particularly later in the game where failure to solve a puzzle can send you right back to the beginning of a level. The game also has an almost Role-playing game feel to it, for it allows you to increase Firebrand's health, armor, and collect "vial" in exchange for more lives or "maelstrom".

Make a post and let me know what you thought of it. Oh, and post some screenshots if you did something cool, or even beat the game!!!

Hmmmmm....... Looks interesting. I'lltry it when I get the chance. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention.

No problem at all. I always like suggesting old games for people to play that they might not have tried out otherwise.

I tried it out.I liked it,But i only played for a few min.Ill come back to it later though and play some more.Thanks for the suggestion.

I owned th first part for GameBoy and found this sequel a few days ago by myself.
After playing it a few hours, i must say that it is as hard as the first one.
But the music beatifuly reminds me of myself playing it on GB in the age of 7 (or 8), hehe ...

I also refer it, because it's a very fine mixture between a "classic" rpg, jump'n'run- and adventure-game. A real jewel!!

I'm that that you are enjoying it. Capcom put its signature difficulty into it. Not as hard as the Mega Man series, but it can be a tough at points.

I find it rather fun, just having so many different gameplay aspects to it. Really unique.

jeez, now that you mention it:
capcom really is a synonyme for games hard to beat, hehe

Do you know about more gargoyles-quest parts existing, or is this one the "last one" that was developed?
If yes, then this awesome game-idea (especially the crossover between different genres) was propaply simply falling between the grid of attention because of a low usement of commercial, i think ...

If they had made shoutouts for this game, it would have possibly grown to a fantastic game-series like Mario or - as you mentioned - MegaMan. It has all aspects necessary.

Great game! I own it for gameboy.

thanks for telling me about this game

lmnade44 : No problem at all! I really enjoy it. I hope that you will too.
I am going to start a new game and try to beat it again since I haven't beaten it in awhile.

The first Gargoyles Quest for Gameboy is a great game as well if you want to check it out.
