Saint Sword (セイントソード) is an action game developed by Cyclone Systems and published by Taito for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 1991.

Gameplay

There are seven stages for gamers to play through; most of the enemies in each stage are merely a palette swap of each other.[3] Defeating enemies allow Macress to gain access to power-ups that will give him physical enhancement like angel's wings and the strong body of a horse.[1]

Plot

Players control the legendary warrior Macress as he travels back in time in order to prevent the demoness Gorgon before he takes over the entire world.[1]

Reception

Mean Machines gave it a score of 72%, opining "this Rastan-like game could have done with better graphics and sound, but as it stands, Saint Sword is a fairly playable effort."[4]
