About Ravens Gate

Platform: NES
Developer: Stefan Trifunović (game and art), Vincent Verger (music and sound effects)
Year: 2022
Genre: Adventure
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Stefan Trifunović's top-down action adventure inspired by The Legend of Zelda, with four worlds: the Golden Forest, the Frosty Mountains, the Boneyard and Raven's Gate.

You explore screen by screen as a blue-haired hero with two item slots on B and A, buying items and weapons in shops and taking on three quests. The author says the compo size limits stopped him adding bosses and big dungeons.

Trifunović (MercuryBD) made the game and art, and Vincent Verger the music and sound effects, for the NESdev Compo 2022. It placed second overall and won the art and polish categories. An MMC1 build released in November 2022 runs on more flash carts, with unchanged gameplay.
