Saint Sword (セイントソード) is a Sega Mega Drive action platform game developed by Cyclone System and published by Taito. First released in Japan in June 1991, the game features maze-based level design and player transformation mechanics, and was one of the final titles developed by Cyclone System.

Gameplay

The goal of each level is to find a key to an exit and then find that exit. B attacks. C jumps; Down+C jumps down from the current platform. Over the course of the game, you collect magical tokens that enable you to transform into various beings to complete your quest.  START  pulls up the transformation menu and A transforms. Transformations only last a limited time and require magic power.

Progress is recorded through a password system.
