A game for the Sega Genesis created by Treasure. Similar to Landstalker in gameplay but much easier, David the swordsman takes a holiday on Green Row and learns about the missing townspeople. He must go underground, beat up monsters, solve puzzles and free people.
The game consists of 7 levels:
- Castle/Town: No monsters here. You can shop for elements and food here as well as hear a bad piano player. Talking to the king and princess are vital for the plot at times.
- B1: An easy, straightforward dungeon.
- B2: Dungeon that houses the 4 orbs used to awaken Ramiah.
- B3: Dungeon where goblins live and enslave humans.
- B4: Another dungeon, home to the Wizards' guild
- B5: One big room with a crystal that teleports you to other dimensions including ice, war, wild west, sci fi, highway, shadow and martial arts worlds.
- B6: The final dungeon that houses Ramiah.
Tropes used in Light Crusader include:
- Block Puzzle
- Boss Room
- Busman's Holiday
- Catch Phrase: Farmer: Are my cows safe?
- Chekhov's Gun: The four orbs from B2, which are later used to awaken the demon Ramiah/Huster.
- Dem Bones
- Dreadful Musician: The piano lady.
- Dressing as the Enemy
- Elemental Powers: Air, Fire, Earth and Water. They can be mixed to create unique spells.

- Go for the Eye: The very first boss fight in the game.
- Ice Palace: The ice world in B5.
- Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja: The martial arts world in B5, where you fight ninjas who teleport and use earthquake magic.
- Interface Screw: Instead of draining your health, getting poisoned in this game flips the controls so left is right, right is left, up is down, down is up.
- Invisible Main Character: After drinking the "Odd Potion", David is rendered invisible so he can pass the "trial by fire".
- Magic Knight: David, the main hero.
- Never Mess with Granny: The castle cook, who beats goblins with frying pans in B6.

- Poison Mushroom: The black potions found in B4 poison your character, going for the Interface Screw effect.

- Underground Monkey: The blobs. Green blobs are weak but red and white ones shoot fire.
