How it plays

How does Cadash play?

Cadash uses a side-view perspective and divides its adventure into connected stages. The main objective is to advance through each area, defeat enemies, find useful items, and ultimately confront the forces behind the kidnapping.

Players attack, jump, collect gold, buy equipment or supplies, and gain experience from combat. The available hero determines fighting style, durability, and access to magic. Towns and shops provide recovery and upgrades, while bosses mark major progression points. The PC Engine version supports a solo adventure with selectable character types.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Cadash?

  • Learn enemy attack patterns before committing to close combat, especially in narrow passages.
  • Spend gold on equipment and recovery items rather than allowing money to accumulate unused.
  • Explore platforms and side paths carefully; useful items and shops are not always on the direct route.
  • Magic users should conserve spells for bosses and dangerous groups, while physical fighters should prioritize safe positioning.
  • Leveling through regular combat makes later areas more manageable.
