Basic 4 direction shoot'em up with some exploration, but that's all you need.

I bet this was a great game to spend the evening with. This games shows you that this kind of game don't always have to be super fast paced. Still very arcadey, we walk throught an alien invaded city as we collect items and upgrade our weapons. First person dungeons lack enemies, but are somehow a super charming addition. Bosses are great, but some are cheap. Thankfully, there are strategies that make it all much easier. It's fairly easy to not die and you can keep overall progression after a game over, but you will be taken to the beginning of the game.

A very simplistic game beautifully executed.

It's a decent top down adventure game, but it can be frustratingly difficult. There are ways to mitigate this to some extent via the upgrade system, but losing progress still becomes maddeningly annoying especially because of how slow Fester is.

With a guide (U Can Beat Video Games' video guide!) I really had fun with this. It's really funny having all the Addams Familys give you TNT when you find them.

the only nes game i own, genuinely unfair

This is the greatest videogame since 198weiner
