How it feels

A deliberately old-school 2D action-platformer with a cooperative twist, where two players control a knight and a bird simultaneously through linear stages.

What players say

Players call this a faithful NES port that plays like Castlevania but with a shorter sword and a co-op falcon. Combat is more about timing and positioning than brawling, and reviewers split on whether the controls hold up.
