Una obra maestra! Ingenioso juego con mini elementos metroidvania refiriendome a ciertos items y mas habilidades que te dan. Jefes y niveles desafiantes, a veces frustrantes pero muy gratifacantes al lograr pasarlos. Una buena historia, muy disfrutable aunque se necesita algo de paciencia para llegar al final.
Game Review - originally written by (wraith)
Wow, this may be the most badass platform game ever. The game plays a lot like Prince of Persia, where you have to jump from platform to platform, do some climbing and essentially avoid falling to your death. There’s also plenty of thugs trying to stop you, and collection of some of the toughest bosses I’ve ever encountered in a videogame. Meanwhile, Ninja Gaiden-esque cut-scenes tell the story in between levels. The graphics are almost on par with the TurboGrafx, and the control is amazingly fluid and dead-on. The more you play this, the more you’ll say “damn, they did this on the NES?” It’s just that kickass.
I guess "owing much inspiration to Prince of Persia" is a nice way of saying "we chose superfluous sprite animation over competent play control"
Looks incredible for an NES game but its stiff controls make for a pretty annoying experience in the games latter half
The animation is great as you might have heard, the level design is decent, and the gameplay...Stands on the better side of the NES/Famicom library but it has that cliche NES-era flaws. Still this is one of the few NES games that you can play without having a urge to kill yourself
Gorgeous-looking, cinematic platformer, like a more straightforward Prince of Persia. Its slippery controls make every single boss encounter a total crap shoot, though. You just have to wail on them and hope for the best.
