Swords & Serpents is a 1983 video game from Imagic for the Intellivision console.
Gameplay Swords & Serpents is presented from an overhead view and follows a Warrior Prince who navigates four levels of the Sinister Serpent's maze-like dungeon fortress, fighting Phantom Knights and Red Sorcerers along the way. The player searches the dungeon for keys and collects treasures that must be carried back to a chest located on the first level. A two‑player mode allows a second player to control Nelrem, an elderly wizard who can read scrolls to gain abilities such as fireballs, invincibility, healing, and other spells.
