Play Crossed Swords (ALM-002 ~ ALH-002) Online
Duel enemies as a knight in a dark fantasy world, blocking and striking in a tense, methodical fight to defeat the evil overlord.
Crossed Swords, released by ADK in 1991 and preserved in MAME 0.243, is a side-scrolling action game from the Neo Geo era. It stands out for its first-person perspective during combat, a rarity among beat 'em ups of the time. The game doesn't try to overwhelm with spectacle; it focuses on a straightforward, weapon-based brawl.
You control a knight tasked with defeating an evil overlord, moving screen by screen through a dark fantasy world. Combat happens in a first-person view where you must block high or low, then strike back when you see an opening. The game is methodical; you can't button mash. Enemies punish mistakes quickly, and health is scarce. It feels tense and deliberate, like a series of dangerous duels rather than a chaotic brawl. Every victory comes from reading your opponent and reacting precisely.
