Fans of
the Ghosts 'n Goblins series are bound to have countless memories of
being stymied by a whole host of cheap-shot monsters. None, however,
could hold a candle to the Red Devil, a winged creature that could
ruin your whole day, not just because he could zip in and knock you
out of your armor just like that, but even moreso because he had the
uncanny ability to dodge most of the weapons you sent his way. Because
of this, our hero, Arthur has begun to think that maybe he should try
to circumvent this troublesome monster with a little bit of finesse...
And so,
the Red Arremer went on to star in not one, not two, but three
games of his own. Still, he was not completely satisfied. For one, the
developers did not understand his Arrodan/Bremer analogy, and thought
it would be best if he just took the pseudonym "Firebrand"
instead. What’s more, while his games were big hits in the Demon
Realm, they enjoyed relatively poor sales in the human world, and
being a "cult hit" was not good enough for him. Undaunted, the Red
Arremer vowed that one day, he would return to the gaming scene and
claim his rightful place among the icons of video gamery. Perhaps with
a foray into the third dimension...
