The Demon’s Crest: Item Randomizer mod for the NES has been released courtesy of clymax.

Like all of clymax’s rando mods, it’s a self-randomizer, so just simply reset the game to play a new seed.

A release build for Romhack Plaza is being considered, or you can get early access to the dev build on Gamejolt or Itch.io. Our Discord has early previews from time to time. Update: you can now also get a free dev build via our pilot program for speedrunning here.

Release Build: Features

The first few major items are randomized. Duplicates are allowed.

Development Build: Features

All major items are randomized. Duplicates are still allowed.

So, what do you think? Is Demon’s Crest more enjoyable than the games from the series of Ghosts ‘N Goblins, which it spun off from? How does the game compare to other Capcom games with RPG elements?
