Remember when UMvC3 introduced FIrebrand as a playable character and everyone went "WHY TF THEY ADDED THE GHOSTS & GOBLINS GOOMBA INSTEAD OF X????"

Well turns out that Firebrand is the protagonists of some more obscure titles in Capcom's library. I didn't know at the time about that, so I decided to check out one of them out of curiosity. And I wasn't expecting it to be this solid.

Demon crest was a surprise: a title where you play as an actual imp witht ehability to fly, as you explore some hellish levels and grim environments is a metroidvania-like style, with lots of explorations and abilities.
The enemies are terrifying, tbosses are challenging, the levels are tense and the soundtrack fits the mood perfectly.

Overall it is a great time, though I don't deny it has some issues. Primarily I feel that, while Firebrand himself is a cool character with a lot of combat and movement options, it can move a bit too slow, and the often forced backtracking of the different levels can make the experience a bit too annoying sometimes.

Regardless, a neat surprise, for sure one of the biggest surprised in Capcom's catalogue.

A grande parte do brilho desse jogo para as outras pessoas é o que faz ele perder uma boa parte da graça pra mim. A cultura do SNES de utilizar "segredos" como forma de aumentar o fator replay simplesmente não casam bem com o que eu gosto. Apesar de tudo, ótima ideia e muito bem executada.
