Griffon Legend 3DS is a port of The Griffon Legend, a freeware zelda-like action RPG that features original storyline and design made in 16-bit style RPG's of SNES/GENESIS era.
Originally created as part of a contest by Syn9, The Griffon Legend was written in FreeBASIC using SDL for graphics and FMOD for sound/music. That restricted the game to be released for Windows only. The Griffon Legend was rewritten in plain C using SDL and SDL_mixer to be ported to GCW-Zero, the source code is licensed under GPL2 license.
The port to 3DS is made by Nop90 based on the GCW-Zero code.
Installation

Story
500 years after the Griffon-Dragon war, the Dragons have returned to reclaim their empire.
Cities are falling, everyone is dying, and the lone Griffon Knight Fayne is caught up in the middle of it all.
Gameplay
During gameplay you can see up to 3 bars below your character.
The top is health, the next is attack strength (let it charge to hit harder) and then spell strangth (same as attack).
When you learn new spells you will see their icons in the bottom right corner with a meter below them to show them charging.
When the meter turns orange they are ready for use.
