Welcome to the ghoul realm, where you are a gargoyle named Firebrand. This is a spin off series from Ghouls & Ghosts from Capcom. The challenge is on par with that game as well.

There are two forms of gameplay in this game, the first is an overhead map, where you walk around and talk with characters. Its like an old school RPG where you buy things, search and gain information. Then there is the platformer action gameplay where the game really shines. Its solid, difficult, challenging and enjoyable. The difficulty is how slow you move and the lack of energy. More than two hits and you're don. Of course it can be upgraded later in the game.

As Firebrand you use an array of interesting tactics, the ability to hover for a period of time (you can get that powered up), shoot projectiles, and cling to walls. All while fighting ghosts, goblins, fish bones and insane bosses.

The graphics are great, and the game stood head and shoulders above everything else on the Gameboy when it came out. With that being said, I don't recommend this game for anyone under a teen, because its too difficult. To anyone else, play this classic, it started a whole new franchise.

Gargoyle's Quest is a good game. You start in the being level but after you beat the first monster you walk around to find new places to go. While your there you talk to people and get advace and get items and learn abiltes from othere people. You fly alittle bit but after a while you get longer time flying and also can save. To get to your file you have to remenber your password. Best thing to do is to write it all down.
