The Story Behind Demon's Crest
In 2014, Demon's Crest was re-released on Nintendo's Virtual Console. Demon's Crest, known in Japan as Demon's Blazon, is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The story revolves around the Crests, six magical stones which preside over their respective elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Time and Heaven).
The player also gains access to the hidden fourth ending, in which Firebrand can challenge a secret boss named Dark Demon. Capcom rejected a potential port to the Game Boy Advance by a studio that would later become Renegade Kid for this reason. It was followed by a release in North America in November 1994.
How Demon's Crest Plays
The game was internally considered a commercial failure. The worst ending involves Firebrand killing Phalanx and leaving the Demon Realm as it falls into complete anarchy, while a more favorable ending involves Phalanx sealing himself inside the Crest of Heaven and Firebrand hiding all the Crests. The stages are divided into six areas and can be played multiple times.
The story revolves around the Crests, six magical stones which preside over their respective elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Time and Heaven). Upon winning this battle, the fourth ending plays, in which Firebrand casts away the Crests out of pride for his own power, then leaves to seek another worthy opponent to fight. After escaping the amphitheater, Firebrand sets out to regain the Crests and get revenge on Phalanx.
Why Players Still Load It Up
It was considered a commercial failure internally at Capcom. The game also received generally favorable reception, holding a rating of 87% based on five reviews according to review aggregator GameRankings. Along the way, Firebrand is repeatedly challenged by Phalanx' general, Arma, who grudgingly returns most of the Crests to Firebrand out of respect for his power.
As the game begins, Phalanx has already started using the Crests to become the ruler of the Demon Realm, while Firebrand is imprisoned in an amphitheater and forced to fight the zombified Demon Dragon, Somulo. The game was internally considered a commercial failure. In 1995, Total! ranked the game as number 57 on its list of the top 100 SNES games.
