The Cursed Legacy

The Cursed Legacy is an action-exploration game for the Sega Mega Drive, developed by Broke Studio and funded via Kickstarter. Designed as a tribute to the tough, skill-based games of the ’90s, it mixes classic platforming with open exploration elements and a “die and retry” structure. The game also features save support and mini-games to add replayability.

Gameplay combines linear action stages with Metroid-like exploration segments, encouraging players to carefully navigate environments, battle enemies, and run’n gun level with challenge over a dozen bosses. Tough enemy encounters, hidden secrets, and mini-game diversions all add variety, but the high difficulty demands patience and precision. It’s a challenging retro experience tailored for those who miss the demanding games of the 16-bit era.
