Alt. Names:
ソード オブ ソダン
Sword of Sodan is a side scrolling action game where the player selects a hero or heroine to confront the necromancer Zoras. This antagonist must be overthrown to avenge the death of the player character's father.
Technical aspects were a notable feature, including large, distinctive character sprites. The game also incorporated digitized audio and speech, along with an action replay function uncommon in non sports titles of its era.
Progress requires effective use of a moveset centered on sword attacks and jumps across eleven varied stages. These levels include both interior and exterior environments, making the overall experience challenging.
