Briganty: The Roots of Darkness

Gady is a black magician and a skillful martial artist who travels around with
his personal fairy Leena. Gady is more interested in sexy girls than in
anything else, and Leena calls him “the pervert of the century”. One day the
two of them find a girl in the woods who begs for help. After Gady agrees to
help her, she robs all his money and disappears. Before long Gady and Leena
meet a sword master girl named Sephina, who explains that her sister started
acting strangely after finding a mysterious sword. This is where Gady’s
adventure begins.

Briganty: The Roots of Darkness is a side-scrolling action game with role-
playing, platforming and beat-em-up elements. Stages are selected from a map
and for the most part must be completed in a linear order, though at some
points the player can choose which stage to tackle first. In the town it is
possible to heal and save the game. The player controls Gady most of the time,
though in some stages Sephina is the playable character. Both can jump,
defend, and dash; Gady uses fists to beat up enemies, while Sephina fights
with a sword.

Stages are populated by various types of enemies and usually culminate in boss
battles; jumping on platforms and avoiding hazards is fairly frequent.
Experience points are awarded for defeating enemies. As the two protagonists
level up they learn various combo moves and magic attacks. The game contains
some cutscenes with explicit nudity.
