Faxanadu

An offshoot of the Dragon Slayer series, more specifically a storyline addition to the second part of Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu. The gameplay can be compared to Zelda II - The Adventure of Link and the Castlevania series. Don't look now, but at first you might think it's a contrived RPG, but when it turns into an incredibly atmospheric platformer, you'll forget all about it. The art design in this game is top notch - the medievalism is everywhere. One of the most underrated projects on the platform.
