A complete playthrough of Capcom’s 1990 Nintendo Game Boy action RPG game, Gargoyle’s Quest.
Gargoyle’s Quest was the first game in the Ghouls ’n Ghosts spin-off trilogy featuring Firebrand, the red devil that absolutely tortured us all in the main-line series’ games. It combines RPG exploration with some tough platforming, and it makes for a very good mix.
Just think of it as Zelda 2, only set in Hell and with better controls.
The music can be amazingly creepy for a Game Boy game, and those graphics have a ton of detail in them for such an early title on the system.
This took a bit of practice, but I really don’t think it’s anywhere near as hard as so many people say. If you play it a few times and learn the level layouts, it’s actually on the easy side for a Capcom platformer. If you got discouraged by Ghouls ’n Ghosts, try this one out - you might fare much better!
While I love both the main and the spin-off series, I gotta say, I far prefer the Gargoyle’s Quest titles.
