Enemies are classic Japanese fantasy monsters, like demons, ghosts, or evil knights. So, instead of a starship, you have a knight walking and firing arrows and swords (or double-swords, if you get the proper power-up).
What makes this extremely enjoyable game different from the plethora of shooters released in the 80s is that the gameplay is exactly like a classic vertical scrolling shoot-em-up, with starships firing lasers and collecting power-ups, but ported to a fantasy universe. To do that, you must travel across eight levels full of enemies and kill the terrible end-of-level bosses.
In this game, you are Popolon, and your task is to save Aphrodite from the Prince of Darkness.
Knightmare, known in Japanese as Majyo Densetsu, is a fantasy vertical shoot-em-up created by Konami for MSX computers in 1986.
