Play Faxanadu (Rev A) Online
You start with a rusty sword and empty pockets, slowly uncovering secrets in a dying kingdom where every gold piece and cryptic NPC hint matters. The music haunts you while you wrestle with clunky jumps and hunt for hidden upgrades.
Game Overview
Faxanadu is one of those NES games that feels way ahead of its time—part side-scrolling action, part RPG with weird little secrets everywhere. You start off with a dinky sword and barely any gold, but the whole world opens up as you explore this crumbling fantasy kingdom. The music’s got this eerie, almost dreamlike quality, and the towns actually feel alive with NPCs dropping cryptic hints.
It’s tough as nails at first (those early enemies hit hard), but once you get the hang of upgrading gear and managing your magic points, it clicks. The platforming’s janky in that classic NES way, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about poking into every nook for hidden doors or grinding for better armor. Definitely not a breezy playthrough, but it’s got this strange, melancholic charm that sticks with you.
