Reviews

“Alwa’s Awakening is both a wonderful game and a wonderful achievement.”
10/10 –

“I just beat the awesome Alwa's Awakening 8-Bit Edition. Even though it was released this year, it has earned a spot in my Top 3 NES games of all time.”

About This Content

The highly awaited NES remake is finally here!


Originally released in 2017, the NES version is finally here! With the same challenging and exciting gameplay, this version feels like the original but there's also new and exclusive content added such as new levels and new music.

Use your magic staff and progress through a large interconnected world where you'll solve puzzles, fight enemies and defeat bosses in order to help free the land of Alwa. Explore and uncover the secrets by using your platforming skills in this challenging and charming 8-bit adventure game.

This is NOT the PC version. You'll need an NES emulator to run this game

In order to play this game you need to download a separate NES emulator. At the bottom of this page you can find a link to the one we recommend. If you're just looking for the original version of this game, please see the base game Alwa's Awakening.
