The briefing

About this game

Deadly Evil is a side-view scrolling action adventure with platform elements. Playing as a warrior, you travel through a forest and castle to recover six pieces of an ancient scroll and rescue the Princess from The Evil Ones.

Move left or right through the forest, avoiding or fighting monsters with your sword. Obelisks must also be avoided, as touching one summons a wizard that fires at you briefly. After collecting the six scroll pieces, enter the castle, find keys to open its doors, and escort the Princess to safety without letting her energy run out.
