Crossed Swords

As a knight, you must travel the countryside fighting monsters and bandits using your sword and shield. When you enter combat the view changes to a pseudo 1st-person perspective where the body of your knight is outlined so that you can see the creatures that you are fighting. When enemies have been defeated, they drop money and power-ups. There are seven chapters in the game, and each chapter (except one) starts with you entering a merchant's shop and buying weapons using the money that you have collected so far. There are also alternate paths which take you to different parts of the game. At the start of the game, you may choose a chapter from one to three to start at.

Gameplay involves fighting your way through the countryside, using your sword and shield to defeat enemies. The combat system is simple but challenging, requiring timing and strategy to emerge victorious. You can also collect power-ups and upgrade your equipment to improve your chances of success. As you progress through the game, you'll encounter increasingly difficult foes and complex puzzles to solve.
