CROSSED SWORDS is an action game released by SNK in 1991. Use a variety of strikes, blocks, and magic as you journey through seven intense stages to defeat the demon Nausiz. The unique 'behind-the-back' perspective allows for immersive, timing-based combat. This mobile version faithfully restores the original experience with added features like quick-saves and global rankings.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Crossed Swords is a unique beast. It’s essentially a first-person (well, behind-the-back silhouette) hack-and-slash RPG. It was incredibly ahead of its time in 1991, and it still feels unique today. The game is all about timing and reading your enemy's stance. You have to block high or low, dodge, and then strike when you see an opening. It feels like a fantasy version of 'Punch-Out!!' but with swords and magic.
The RPG elements—buying better weapons and leveling up—add a layer of progression that keeps the arcade gameplay from feeling repetitive. The boss designs are massive and intimidating, requiring actual pattern memorization to defeat. This ACA NEOGEO port is fantastic, and the touch controls work surprisingly well for the 'fencing' style of combat. If you want an arcade game with actual depth and a dark fantasy atmosphere, this is a gem.

Tips & Walkthrough
Don't just mash the attack button. Watch your enemy's weapon—if they hold it high, block high, then immediately follow up with a low slash. Most enemies have a 'dazed' animation after a successful block, which is your window to strike.
Gameplays
Gold is rare. Don't spend it all on health potions; save up for the 'Titanium Sword' in the mid-game shops. The damage boost is essential for the later, more armored bosses.

Q&A
Magic is triggered by pressing both the Attack and Jump buttons simultaneously. Each weapon has a different magic spell associated with it.
