Play Magic Sword (Europe) Online

Magic Sword came out on the Super Nintendo in 1992, developed by Capcom. It was part of that early wave of SNES games that focused on straightforward action, before the big RPGs and complex platformers took over. You play as a warrior known as the Brave One, tasked with climbing a 50-floor tower to defeat an evil dragon lord.

You control the hero through screen-by-screen exploration, using a sword for close combat and occasionally finding a bow for ranged attacks. Your main goal is to ascend the tower, floor by floor, while freeing prisoners who can join you as AI companions; some fight well, others are weak and perish quickly. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is steep, demanding quick reflexes and smart key management to unlock doors and progress. It feels like a tense, chaotic climb where every new floor brings fresh dangers and unpredictable allies.
