Magical Chase

About

Magical Chase is a side-scrolling shooter where you play Ripple, a magic student forced to hunt down demons she accidentally unleashed. Armed with spells and a pair of helpful elves, you navigate labyrinthine levels blasting enemies and collecting power-ups. The game mixes fast-paced shooting with platformer precision as you race to contain each demon before time runs out. Co-op play lets a friend control one of Ripple’s elf companions, adding a layer of teamwork to the chaotic action. The game stands out for its frantic energy and colorful 90s-era pixel art. While its 1991 release date makes it a relic of early PC and TurboGrafx-16 gaming, fans of retro shooters often highlight its tight controls and inventive level design. The blend of magic, urgency, and quirky character designs keeps it memorable, even as its cult status remains niche.
