Cadash

Get ready to journey back to the pixelated land of Cadash!
Originally an arcade game powerhouse from 1989 (developed by Taito, no less!), Cadash is a side-scrolling action RPG where you choose one of four distinct heroes: the valiant Fighter, the nimble Ninja, the powerful Mage, or the healing Priestess. Each character boasts unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, encouraging you to team up with friends or tackle the quest solo with a character that fits your playstyle.
The land of Cadash is in peril! The evil Baarogue has kidnapped Princess Salassa and imprisoned her in his dreaded castle. It's up to you, brave adventurer, to embark on a perilous quest, battling hordes of monsters, collecting gold, leveling up your character, and ultimately rescuing the princess.
Prepare for classic side-scrolling combat, treasure hunting, and a gripping story that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Welcome to Cadash, a retro gem that deserves to be rediscovered! Let's delve into what makes this game so special.
