Cadash

Developer: Taito

Cadash blends side-scrolling action with light RPG progression; players pick character archetypes, hack and cast through monster-filled kingdoms, buy gear, level up, and face massive bosses. Its arcade roots deliver brisk, deadly encounters, tight platforming, and score-driven progression. Local co-op lets friends team up for treasure-hunting and dungeon crawling; shops and upgrades reward exploration. The pixel art, catchy synth score, and sharp difficulty make Cadash a rewarding throwback for fans of action RPG hybrids and retro arcade side-scrollers. Persistent upgrades and tight pacing keep runs tense and memorable.
