  • gameplay
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the unreliable wall climbing and jumping mechanics, which hinder the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay is similar to Ninja Gaiden; it's not great but pretty solid and scratches the 8-bit itch.”
    • “Difficulty, graphics, gameplay, and music are perfectly matched to 8-bit games.”
    • “This game's most important mechanic is broken: the wall grab.”
    • “When the difficulty in a game is just getting mechanics to work properly, then it is just not worth the headache.”
    • “If you enjoy clunky hitboxes with floors and walls that instantly kill you if you touch them, then you might get an hour or two of fun out of this, but if you're like me and think that mechanic should die in the 90's where we left it, I would have to say avoid this game.”

    • “Difficulty, graphics, gameplay, and music are perfectly matched to 8-bit games.”
    • “The only negative is the music.”
    • “- the same 3-4 seconds-long music running on a loop on every level.”
