People always go on about Ghosts n Goblins but this game is fucking great, and I never hear anyone talk about it when SNES classics are brought up

It gets brought up fairly often as one of SNES's biggest sleeper hits.

I think were just far enough from its release that most people who care about it existing have cared long enough that theyre not interested in hyping it further. Its a genius masterpiece tho imo

Having the different mega man styled upgrades from bosses is such a good idea. So far I've only gotten the ground gargoyle upgrade, but I'm looking forward to what else I'll run into

It does seem to be an overlooked gem. I remember not knowing it even existed until I saw it in a store back when it was released. A brief check looks like it came out right before MegaMan X2, which definitely wouldn't have helped.

Shame, because it is a solid game. Alternate routes through each level leading to different bosses. Multiple endings depending on when you take on the final boss and what power-ups you have. My only complaint was that it was clunky having to go to the menu every time to change form or breath type.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Is it some early 90s, bible thumping "You play as a demon and that makes god cry" bullshit?

Outside of the regular top games mentioned for SNES (Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy ect) it is brought up all the time.

No it was some kind of mass amount of people that demanded a refund for their game so at one point it had sold negative copies. I'm not sure why there was such a backlash towards it when it came out, granted I didn't play it until 5 or 6 years later

I think it's considered a sleeper hit.

It gets plenty of rep these days, but it was lesser known for the most part I had not even heard it mentioned when I played it, and was one of my favorite SNES game experiences. Never played any of the others though. I think Matt Matei made a video on how good it is or something.
