How it feels

A fast-paced retro action-adventure that blends top-down and side-scrolling combat with exploration and tank upgrades.

What players say

Players call this a respectful remake of the NES original, keeping the tank-and-on-foot gameplay and adding new mechanics like upgrades for the tank. The difficulty is challenging but not crushing, and the game does not overstay its welcome. Some note it has a niche appeal.
