Frankenstein: The Monster Returns Overview
Frankenstein: The Monster Returns is a side scrolling adventure title for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The narrative premise involves the creature Frankenstein returning to terrorize a village, destroying the surrounding lands and assembling a force of monstrous beings, with the player's objective being to rescue a captured girl.
Gameplay involves navigating through levels populated by various nightmarish enemies. The player character starts equipped only with basic fists for combat. Defeated foes can yield a magical club, which serves as the primary weapon and can be enhanced to shoot fireballs through collected power ups.
