About the game

The legend of Densetsu

Saint Seiya Densetsu is a fan game made in RPG Maker 2003 and set in the world of Saint Seiya. Development started in 2003 with Andrea de Siena, and it was so popular that the game was shipped on CDs and shared online, until it was paused in 2004.

In 2006 a Brazilian fan picked the project up and tried to build the Hades Saga, but without support he had to stop. In 2016 one of the members of the original team came back, reworked the game and gathered a new team, which keeps developing Densetsu to this day.

The game follows the classic series and the movies with battles, techniques and cutscenes redone in pixel art, plus its own adaptations of stories that had never been made into a game.
