Lightbringer

Released1994
Light Bringer (ライトブリンガー) , also known as Dungeon Magic, is a 1994 arcade game by Taito Corporation Japan and is also included in Taito Legends 2. Unlike most medieval/fantasy beat 'em ups, it featured an isometric viewing angle, some platforming (usually involving players stacking rocks or crates to climb on and jump to treasure chests), unusually large stylised sprites, and variable blood/gore settings. Unusually, there are two European versions of the game: one uses the title Light Bringer, and the other uses the title Dungeon Magic. While this game uses the same title as Taito's earlier NES game Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements, the two games are unrelated aside from their titles.

About This Game

An evil sorcerer has called a dark spirit back from the abyss and seized a royal princess as a sacrifice to fuel its power. Four warriors enter the magical realm to stop him: Ash, a steadfast knight; Gren, a roving swordsman; Cisty, an elven archer whose entire family was destroyed by the spirit years ago; and Vold, an aged magician wielding an enchanted staff. Together they must navigate the spirit's domain and save the princess before the ritual is complete.
