How it feels

Chaotic horizontal shooting with magical and melee attacks, demanding quick reflexes and score chasing in a dark fantasy arcade setting.

What players say

Sol Divide is a genre hybrid from 1997 that mixes side-scrolling shooting with hack-and-slash melee combat and a magic system. Players consistently call the melee stiff and risky, but appreciate having a life bar instead of one-hit deaths. The port runs smoothly but suffers from controller recognition bugs when tabbing away. Levels are short and the game allows only 3 continues.
