Soulsword

The peaceful ghosts of Deathless Valley have been turned violent by the spell of an evil necromancer, and you, a wandering swordsman, have been sent to defeat him. You must avoid the necromancer's traps, destroy his minions, and use the power of their souls to beak into the villain's lair to confront him. Need a bigger challenge? The game offer an optional Speedrun Mode, where you can race against the clock, and a Deathless Mode, where you are made to beat the game without dying once. Can you survive the Deathless Valley and complete your mission?
