Cadash is an influential 1989 arcade action-RPG developed by Taito. Blending side-scrolling platforming with deep role-playing mechanics, players choose between four distinct classesโFighter, Mage, Priest, or Ninjaโto battle monsters, earn experience, and purchase equipment in towns.
How to play
The objective is to defeat the evil Baarogue and rescue the princess. As an arcade game, the standard browser controls apply: use Shift (or 5) to insert coins, Enter (or 1) to start, the Arrow keys for movement and navigating menus, and Z/X/C for attacking, jumping, and using magic or items.
Tips
- The Fighter has the highest defense and easiest learning curve for beginners, while the Mage starts weak but becomes incredibly powerful at higher levels.
- Time is limited, but buying hourglasses in towns or finding them in dungeons will extend the timer.
- Farm gold and experience near towns or healing springs early on to safely gear up before tackling harder bosses.
