How it feels
A high-energy side-scrolling shooter that feels like a love letter to 80s and 90s action movies, with punchy combat and a retro pixel aesthetic.

What players say
Players praise Prison City as a standout NES tribute that improves on the Power Blade formula with smooth controls and a grappling hook. They appreciate the difficulty options and soundtrack, though some find the level art confusing or the challenge punishing. A few criticize the lack of control remapping and uneven level design.
