THE STORIED SWORD is a new, challenging NES platformer in the style of Ninja Gaiden x Batman: The Video Game. Do you like wall-jumping? You have to play this! Developed by Bite the Chili Productions and Raft Labs, this game is now on Kickstarter with digital ROMs and physical NES cartridges on offer: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitethechili/the-storied-sword

I have had the pleasure of playtesting this game over the past year or so, but this is my first full playthrough of the final(?) game. After playing it many times and seeing it evolve, I can guarantee that the developers have made the best game they possibly can, carefully designed and balanced for players at all levels.

[Played on hardware: EverDrive N8 Pro on NES-001, composite upscaled by RetroTINK 2X-Mini]

The newest homebrew adventure for the NES.

Wall jumping, sword slinging, swashbuckling platforming adventure from tow veteran NES developers. The Storied Swird follows two heroes, Cedric and Orchid, as they seek to stop the evil sorcerer Vectre from finding a legendary weapon and becoming all-powerful. Inspired by Ninja Gaiden and Batman: The Video Game, The Storied Sword creates a new blend of retro mechanics in a new adventure.

- 6 levels with 3 sub-levels each, and 6 unique bosses
- Hand-optimized Assembly code handles up to 8 enemies without slowdown
- DPCM percussions, heart-pumping soundtrack with a sound test menu

I live stream 8-bit Nintendo games (usually NES, Famicom, or Game Boy) every Wednesday starting at 10 p.m. Eastern. I also stream other games across multiple consoles whenever I can, from retro to modern, console and PC. I play physical media on original hardware whenever possible.

***My streams are chill and generally family-friendly. I only ask everyone to be respectful and kind to each other in the chat.***

Want to buy me a coffee (or a game to play on stream)? Donations are never expected, but always appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/ecmyers. You can also send me a physical game or download code if you want me to stream it!
