Summary

Cavelon drops you into a horizontally‑scrolling castle where you play as a knight armed with a bow, arrow, and the legendary magic sword. Your goal is to climb floor by floor, gathering the eight scattered door pieces that unlock the way upward while fending off the castle’s guard knights. The magic sword lets you wipe out every enemy on screen, and a floating sword can grant you a second charge of that temporary invincibility. The remastered version adds modern comforts like save slots, full controller support, and image scaling, but the core challenge remains the same frantic maze‑shooting action. I love how the simple mechanic of collecting door fragments feels like a puzzle layered on top of classic arcade reflexes.

Storyline

In the arcade classic Cavelon, players step into the shoes of Arthur, who must climb the towering Castle Cavelon to rescue Guinevere from an evil wizard. The journey is a puzzle‑platform trek where Arthur gathers scattered pieces hidden throughout the fortress. Collecting all the fragments unlocks the way out of the castle’s labyrinthine rooms. Once the escape route is secured, the final showdown pits Arthur against the dark wizard himself. Defeating the sorcerer frees Guinevere and brings the adventure to a triumphant close.
