A red demon named Firebrand escapes prison to recover six crests that give power over the elements and time, in this 1994 Super Nintendo platformer. He breathes fire, clings to walls and hovers, and each crest he collects changes him into a new gargoyle form: Ground, Aerial, Tidal, Legendary and Ultimate. Areas are blocked until the right form arrives, so stages are revisited, and a map helps navigation. Talismans, flasks and spell vellums can be equipped, bosses are large and take several attempts, and a password system keeps progress. A few hours of action that keeps rewarding a return visit makes it an easy pick up now.
