The story is perceived as relatively short, with players often feeling surprised at how quickly they reach the bosses. However, the game offers a fair price of $10 and includes an additional harder mode for those who complete the main story, reminiscent of classic NES titles.
“Oftentimes, I would reach the boss of an area and think, 'Wow, I'm here already?' That being said, the $10 price of this game is more than fair, seeing as this game also includes a harder 'extra' mode for those who beat the main story, as many NES games that had a shorter story often did.”
