Melfand Stories

About

Melfand Stories is a side-scrolling brawler that lets you play alone or team up with a friend. Choose from four characters, El the quick swordfighter, Corse the aggressive warrior, Lemin the magic user, or Nora who cracks her whip. Fight through waves of monsters using weapons, spells, or a mix. Collect gear to boost your power as you move through fantasy-themed levels. The co-op mode stands out for 1994, letting two players tackle bosses and crowds of enemies together. The game mixes simple combat with some light RPG elements like character roles and item upgrades. Players on message boards often mention the colorful cast and the challenge of later levels. A nostalgic pick for fans of old-school brawlers.

Storyline

The king of Melfand’s adviser, Nomolwa, betrayed him and usurped the kingdom together with his accomplices, Labyuless the warlock and Brad the black knight. Four adventurers come to the kingdom by ship, traversing the lands full of monsters and perils to get to the king’s castle, where the evil man resides. Our heroes are the typical balanced RPG party, comprising of plucky rogue El, smug knight Corse, cute elf witch Lemin and tomboyish thief Nora.
