Set some untold decades after the end of Accursed Fiend, Legacy of the Fiend takes our protagonist Lemi on a perilous adventure into the depths of the dungeon. 

  • Defeat enemies to level up, 12 types not including the boss
  • Choose between three different weapons requiring different strategies
  • A fiendish final boss awaits on the 99th floor
  • Pet the shop cat

This is running in the GameTank emulator and presents console-specific button prompts

Game controls

Z  = A (Pick up items, descend stairs)

X = B (Wait one turn, cancel current ranged attack)

C = C (Aim or confirm ranged attacks, if holding a magic staff or a longbow)

Enter = Start

Arrow Keys = Direction Buttons (Walk, attack enemies, pet cats)

If holding B or a direction button pressed, the input will start to auto repeat after a short delay.


Emulator meta-controls:
'F11' (with emulator input focus) will fullscreen it

'R' for Reset, Shift+R for Hard Reset

'M' to toggle mute


If it acts weird or slow in the browser you can download the desktop version of the emulator and the ROM here as well

Couldn't even play 20 minutes because I lost interest far too quick.

Thanks for playing. The feedback in the video is helpful.

It gets repetitive after a while, after a few floors. Maybe a boss should be before the shop at 5th floor or so, 99th floor is too much, the game doesn't capture my attention for that long.

Here's a video of me playing the game.

Thanks for playing! I appreciate the candid feedback.

Insanely cool little game (and the music is fire)
