The Storied Sword

About

The Storied Sword is a retro-inspired action-platformer that pits you against pixel-perfect challenges as either Candlemaster Cedric or the Orchid of Mourning. Navigate multi-scrolling levels with rapid wall-jumps and precise timing, all under the pressure of relentless enemy waves. The combat leans into tight, twitch-based mechanics reminiscent of 90s arcade titles, with each level designed to test reflexes and route-finding. Coming to PC, NES, and Dreamcast on August 23, 2024, it’s a love letter to 8-bit intensity. Bite the Chili Productions leans into the NES homebrew scene’s knack for difficulty, crafting a experience that feels hand-optimized for frustration and reward. The dual protagonists offer distinct playstyles but share the same punishing charm, making it a standout for players who miss the old-school grind.
