How it feels

A demanding, retro-styled platformer that tests your reflexes with tight jumps and combat against grotesque enemies in a grim medieval world.

What players say

Players say this fifth entry is the hardest in the series, with many praising the increased challenge and new cheese-shrink mechanic, though some find enemy shooting patterns unfair. Completion takes about 5 hours, and the game uses infinite lives. Opinions split on the mouse-platforming sections and puzzle design.
