I was a SNES kid growing up, but probably around 99-00 I got into ‘retro’ collecting and picked up a genesis at a garage sale, and then got a few games from a thrift store. Chakan was one of them. I didn’t like it at the time when I went back to it years later, I realized it’s a lot more fun than I gave it credit for. Worth a play!
After the credits in this game you fight another boss and if you win you get a scene of an hourglass playing for *fifteen minutes.* And if you sit through the whole thing you get a message that just says “NOT THE END”
I don’t know if OP is just making that comment because it certainly looks like a Darksouls inspired cover, but honestly that’s a pretty spot on take. Dark world, single character with melee attacks, different weapons and fighting styles, huge bosses.
Dude almost everything from the genesis was dark souls like. That was the era of games ported from arcades where the objective was to get you die as often as possible so you’d spend more quarters. If you ever beat a game it was actually quite an accomplishment.
dude, the whole console was Dark Souls – Lion King -impossible. Aladdin – will crush you. I owned and loved, but never beat the original X-men game (magneto was ridiculous).

This game was one of my favorites as a kid, and I was so sad to hear they canned the Dreamcast sequel.
I still can hear that weird roar/growl in my head when thinking about it.

Sega Genesis games were silly.

Iron Maiden reference?

What a fantastic game, I used to love this game. I really miss it and might have to try and track down a copy!

It did, it was called The Immortal.
I guess we know where Cad Bane’s design came from. Love the dual swords with the symbols
That’s Eddie!
This was my fav sega game
I vaguely remember this game.
*”…cause I feel for you.”*
