Macress, a titan who can change his form, is the only one who can defeat Gorgan. Players must guide Macress through seven stages filled with monsters and defeat each of Gorgan\u2019s lieutenants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macress uses a sword to battle monsters and will become stronger as he defeats enemies. However, losing a life will reset Macress\u2019s power level. Enemies often drop icons that allow the player to use Macress\u2019s shape shifting ability. These forms include a powerful centaur, a swift birdman, and a fishman that can glide through the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defeating bosses will award Macress with a magical item. Using a magic item will consume magic points, but their powerful effects can heal Macress or destroy his foes. <em>Saint Sword<\/em> uses a password system that lets players resume their game from the last stage they visited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"SaintSwordgenesisnavgal\"><a href=\"#SaintSwordgenesisnav\">Gallery<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"14449\" src=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-1.webp 480w, https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-1-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"14448\" src=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-2.webp 480w, https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-2-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"14451\" src=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-3.webp 480w, https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-3-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"14450\" src=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-4.webp 480w, https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Saint-Sword-Genesis-Pic-4-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"#SaintSwordgenesisnav\">Further Reading<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more about Saint Sword for Sega Genesis?
