A classic revived

EGGCONSOLE SHIN MAOU GOLVELLIUS MSX2 follows the story of brave Knight Kelesis on a quest to save Princess Rena who ventured into the Valley of Monsters while also looking for his lost sister. Explore the game's maps that transition between vertically and horizontally scrolling screens as you move from one area to the next.

Combat happens in real-time and is simple yet engaging with one-button attacks and jumps that have you face all kinds of monsters in both top-down and third-person side-scrolling perspectives. One thing to be aware of is the game's text is a mix of Japanese and English languages. Thus, it will be confusing for some players who don't speak and understand the former.

Save the princess

Overall, EGGCONSOLE SHIN MAOU GOLVELLIUS MSX2 is a solid port and provides a chance to experience a classic game that flew under the radar and not a lot of players know about. It stays faithful to the original in terms of presentation and gameplay, which lets them play it how it was intended.
