What players say
Players praise the tight arcade action and one-hit-death challenge, with boss fights that demand pattern recognition. The game is a remake of the 1989 arcade version rather than a direct port, and includes a useful dog companion. Some note the graphics have aged and wish the original arcade version were available.
