The game offers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of classic NES titles like Ninja Gaiden, with tight gameplay and responsive controls.
The level design is engaging, featuring varied environments and enemy placements that keep the gameplay interesting.
Some music tracks are catchy and enjoyable, contributing to the overall retro vibe of the game.

The wall grab mechanic is unreliable, leading to frustrating gameplay, especially in the final level where precise control is crucial.
Controller support is lacking, as the game only works with the analog stick and does not support D-pad inputs, which is problematic for a 2D platformer.

The gameplay is reminiscent of classic Ninja Gaiden, offering a solid yet flawed experience that appeals to fans of 8-bit style games. However, issues such as a broken wall grab mechanic, awkward jumping controls, and frustrating difficulty spikes detract from the overall enjoyment. While the graphics are praised, the inconsistent controls and cheap-death scenarios leave players with mixed feelings about the gameplay experience.
- “The graphics are great, the music is okay, the gameplay is fun... when the controls work.”
- “I don't write reviews really, but I've got to say that anyone who was a fan of the Ninja Gaiden gameplay and graphics should check this out.”
- “This game's most important mechanic is broken: the wall grab.”
- “Wall jumping mechanic is terrible, especially when by default, if you try playing with a DS3 or DS4, jump is mapped to square, and attack to circle.”
- “The gameplay is similar to Ninja Gaiden; it's not great but pretty solid and scratches the 8-bit itch.”
