Cadash vs Zeliard

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.

Zeliard is a classic side‑scrolling action RPG where Duke Garland battles through labyrinthine dungeons, collecting crests, keys, and the Nine Tears of Esmesanti to defeat the ancient demon Jashiin. The game blends platforming, sword combat, magic casting, and town‑based upgrades for a deep, retro fantasy experience.
