I just wanted to take some time to share my appreciation of Demon's Crest's visuals. That coupled with its music is what I feel to be the strongest aspect of the game. All of the images are taken from sprite rips and doubled to be more visible on modern resolutions.

Prologue Fighting
It might be gushing a bit but the subdued demons remind me of renaissance era body structures. There are some great visuals at the opening.

Flame Lord Skull Form and Iron Maiden Demon
Two unnerving and visually striking enemies.

The Town
This really looks fantastic when viewed all at once. Were it animated I could mistake it for an SNK background. I love how the platforms look like a natural part of the background.
