Play Dancing Sword (J)(Megaroms) Online
You start with just a sword and a jump button, but soon you're pulling off slick mid-air slashes—enemies come fast, and every death feels like your own mistake, not the game's. That second boss wrecked me until I figured out the parry timing.
Game Overview
Dancing Sword on the GBA is one of those games that makes you wonder how they crammed so much action into a tiny cartridge. You start off with just a sword and a jump button, but within minutes you're pulling off these slick aerial slashes—the animations are way smoother than you'd expect from a handheld game. The enemies come at you fast, and the controls are tight enough that when you mess up, you know it's your fault, not the game's.
It's got that old-school arcade feel where you can just pick it up and start swinging, but there's actually some depth to the combat if you pay attention. I kept getting wrecked by the second boss until I realized you could parry his attacks by timing your blocks just right. The pixel art holds up too—your character does this little flourish with their sword after big combos that never gets old.
Fair warning though: the Japanese text means you'll be guessing at some menus, but honestly? The action speaks for itself. If you've got a soft spot for GBA hidden gems, this one's worth dusting off the old handheld for.
