It belongs to the "Ghosts 'n Goblins" franchise and centers on the character Firebrand, a red demon originally appearing as an antagonist in earlier entries of the series. In this installment, Firebrand must traverse various gothic and eerie realms in a quest to recover the six magical crests that, when combined, grant the possessor ultimate power and control over the demon realm. The game is known for its dark, atmospheric graphics and challenging gameplay, which combines action, puzzle-solving, and exploration elements.

The gameplay of "Demon's Crest" is a blend of traditional platforming mechanics and RPG elements, enabling players to upgrade Firebrand’s abilities as they progress. As players collect different crests, Firebrand gains new forms, each with unique abilities that allow access to previously unreachable areas, helping to open up the non-linear progression of the game. The game features multiple endings, which depend on the player's ability to collect items and unravel secrets throughout the various levels. Despite moderate commercial success, "Demon's Crest" has often been lauded for its intricate level design and haunting, immersive atmosphere, making it a cherished classic among retro gaming enthusiasts. Its rarity and unique position in the Capcom catalog have bolstered its reputation as a cult classic in the years following its release.
