The game is set to include six action stages, 13 bosses, and a mix of action platformer phases alongside Metroid-like exploration phases. To enhance replayability, The Cursed Legacy will also feature five mini-games and a save functionality. The developers have launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, offering various rewards for backers. These include digital copies for Steam and the Genesis/Mega Drive, complete-in-box versions, and even a special edition that includes a modded MegaDrive console.
Set 20 years after the events of The Cursed Knight, the storyline follows the son of the original protagonist on a mission to change the past. This game is designed to pay tribute to the beloved games of the 1990s while introducing new elements that expand its appeal. With its Kickstarter campaign now live, The Cursed Legacy is expected to ship rewards by March 2025, providing an exciting new addition to the library of homebrew titles available for Sega’s iconic 16-bit console.
