Glory Hunters - Game Boy

An adventure that will last forever
Once you finish the game by awakening one of the gods, you can start over and choose to seek a different one. Choose your own adventure: Revisit your favorite characters, towns, and events, or attempt to open a new way to discover a whole new experience on your next journey. If you are one of the real hardcore players, maybe you will be one of the few ones to awaken all four gods in a single run!

A nostalgic trip
Delve in a game that has the same glorious retro graphics and sounds used over 30 years ago. You can dust off your old handheld consoles (GameBoy DMG, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Light, Super GameBoy, GameBoy Advance) and relive that 90’s experience from your childhood. Alternatively you can join the hunt by adding the game’s files to modern emulation devices (Anbernic, Retroid Pocket, GPD, Powkiddy, Raspberry Pi) or even play it on the Analogue Pocket!
