Amulets & Armor vs Cadash

Amulets & Armor is a retro‑style role‑playing game released in 1997 for PC, blending turn‑based combat with a rich fantasy world. Players assemble a party of heroes, equip them with magical amulets and armor, and explore procedurally generated dungeons. The game supports both single‑player and local multiplayer, allowing friends to team up and tackle challenges together, while offering extensive item crafting and character progression systems that reward strategic planning.

Cadash blends fast‑paced platform combat with deep RPG mechanics, letting players choose from four distinct heroes—fighter, mage, priestess, or ninja—and develop their stats, magic, and equipment as they explore five sprawling stages. The game’s fantasy world pits you against mythic monsters, hidden treasures, and the demonic Balrog in a quest to rescue Princess Salassa from Castle Cadash.
