How it feels

A fast-paced, retro-themed action RPG with real-time scrolling, a hero's-eye view, and intense combat that demands constant attention and quick reactions.

What players say

Players praise the unique hybrid of first-person exploration and 2D beat-em-up combat, but note the emulation is bare-bones with no extra features. Enemies have invincibility frames after each hit, which makes combat feel repetitive. A few say it compares poorly to Drakkhen, while others love it as a Zelda 2-like hidden gem. The endgame is reportedly tough.
