How it feels

A nostalgic, challenging side-scrolling brawler with dark fantasy pixel art and a balanced but demanding difficulty curve.

What players say

Players praise its authentic NES-era look and feel, comparing it to Rastan and Faxanadu. At about 2 hours, it is very short. The swimming section is widely disliked for clunky controls. The game is easy because of infinite lives and checkpoints, but getting the best ending requires dying fewer than 10 times, which adds a challenge for those seeking it.
