Citadale: The Legends Trilogy (2017)

Venture into the cursed land of Citadale and experience a generational saga of demon-slaying. This collection masterfully bundles the original three 8-bit installments, offering a complete and brutal journey through hell. Follow Sonja Dorleac as she embarks on a desperate quest to find her missing husband, then assume the role of her son, Gabriel, as he inherits the Demon Slayer's legacy. Finally, as Christopher, Sonja’s grandson and the heir to the Shadow Blade, confront the ultimate evil and face the Dark Lord himself. Each chapter presents unique characters, challenging levels, and an unforgettable chiptune soundtrack, all rendered in captivating 8-bit pixel art. Prepare for a relentless, stage-based progression with face-melting difficulty that will test your combat prowess. Wield an arsenal of iconic weapons, from swords to shurikens, and battle a menagerie of monstrous foes and screen-filling bosses. Uncover hidden secrets and unlock rewarding alternate endings for the first two games, and even a boss rush mode for the original if you achieve the "good" ending. Citadale: The Legends Trilogy is a pure action-platformer adventure, distinct from Metroidvanias, that demands skill and perseverance.
