Dark Seal is an arcade game that loves eating up coins. As a ninja, I died over 50 times, not just in boss fights. It's tough but fun if you like a challenge and don't mind feeding the arcade machine it will be fine.







Honestly has some really neat concepts and design choices (ex. Rat Magic). But is downright ruined by coin-hungry arcade design. The characters are slow as sin, the bosses have amazing mobility and one-hit kills, and the game sends you on around four errands before you finally start working to do what the narrative says you have to do.

But also consider: RAT MAGIC

Fun gaming facts: Fortnite's best player of the century, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins is called "Ninja" because of Kirikaze from Dark Seal.

I was promised seals and I got this fantasy beat-em-up bullshit..wtf.....
