Story
Set some time after the Frankenstein story, the titular Monster (erroneously named Frankenstein as in many other sources) returns from the dead, leading a supernatural army. He razes several villages and kidnaps a beautiful maiden with the intent on making her his bride.
The player is a young swordsman of the village determined to rescue the maiden, stop the supernatural army, and slay the Monster once and for all.
Gameplay
The game is a side-scrolling platformer with beat 'em up elements. The player starts bare-handed but can eventually find weapons such as clubs or swords and may even find powerup magic that allows them to shoot fireballs.
