Relics - Ankoku Yousai (レリクス 暗黒要塞) is a Famicom Disk System sequel to Relics, which compared to the predecessor, simplifies the gameplay and has only one ending. This game opts for a more Metroid-inspired style and even adds a tune constantly looping while playing the game.

Gameplay
The player takes role of a being that's sacrificed its body in order to take control of the bodies of the deceased Holy Warriors of Light, the only ones capable to defeat the forces of hell. The goal is to rescue the princess of heaven, imprisoned in the fortress of hell and the only way to get to her is by collecting 5 idols.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Painfully long and frequent loading times. this game was frequently loading was due to its use of large multi-sprite characters together with poor map planning, loading is about 6 seconds, it is because Famicom Disk System specification must read the disk from head to end.
 * 2) Everytime befroe you go to the next screen, go to next scene and fight to the enemy, it loads.
 * 3) * Even you go to the boss stage and into the body, it loads again.
 * 4) During the play, A and B sides are frequently requested to replace. for example, after you get a Game Over, it will let you set Side-A for save game, then if you want to continue, it will let you set Side-B, this kind of repetition is very troublesome.
 * 5) * However, disk sound is ringing during loading, improvement of save game that cannot be done in the original.
