Hime's Quest

About

Hime's Quest drops you into the chaos of 1999 as Crunchyroll-Hime battles to save her anime club from a tech-wrecking curse. You’ll slash through hordes of enemies in side-scrolling brawls while navigating a haunted forest packed with traps and secrets. The game mixes platforming, combat, and puzzle-solving as you race against time to rescue friends and restore the club’s DVD/VCR. Its pixel-art style and over-the-top villain encounters keep the energy high. The game’s retro aesthetic leans into 90s nostalgia without leaning too hard. Humor shines through quirky dialogue and set pieces like a fight against a rogue VCR monster. With ports on Game Boy Color and mobile, it’s easy to tackle in short bursts. Players on forums praise its tight controls and surprisingly varied boss fights, though the time pressure can ratchet up tension. A straightforward romp that channels the spirit of classic side-scrollers with a anime twist.
