Lychnis

Lychnis is a video game in the action genre developed by Artcraft and published by Soft Town originally released in 1994. It is currently playable on DOS.

One hundred years ago, a fearsome dragon nearly destroyed the entire world, but was stopped and sealed by Prince Grinstain of Bamas and the royal princess Respina of Pars, who used magical equipment from Hartinum to defeat it. However, a malevolent sorcerer named Sakiski has appeared in the land of Laurasia, using the princess of Bamas in a cruel sacrifice to restore the dragon's power. The young knight Lychnis and an apprentice wizard from Pars named Iris are the only ones who can recover Hartinum's hidden arsenal and stop Sakiski.

Lychnis is a Korean-made side-scrolling platformer. The player can choose to control either Lychnis or Iris; the knight fights with his sword and can jump over walls, while the mage uses ranged attacks with a staff and can jump twice. Some areas can only be accessed by a specific character.

Enemies, treasure chests and various items can be found on the stages. When defeated, enemies drop coins, health-restoring items or other power-ups. If a special 'store' icon is collected, the player gains access to a store between stages, which allows them to upgrade weapons and the character's maximum health. With the exception of the final showdown, there are no boss battles in the game. There is also no password function or any other possibility to save the player's progress.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
