Demon's Crest suprised me with how good it was and is easily the best of the trilogy. Capcom took the core gameplay of Gargoyle's Quest 1 and 2 and upgraded it to the point where it is essentially Megaman X with a Ghosts N Goblins coat of paint, both in Gameplay and Presentation. The game also has metroidvania elements in the sense where you can replay levels and they all have branching paths leading to different upgrades that you will need to collect to have a chance with the final boss... Or you could just go straight to the final boss from the get go - BOTW style. Demon's Crest is definitely one of the most underrated SNES games as it belongs up there with the likes of Megaman X and Super Metroid, but is barely spoken about. If you like Megaman X and want a spooky theme to it, this is the game you must try.
