This beat em up is incredible. You're given an incredibly strong suite of mechanics, including a parry, an aerial stomp, and a grapple, each working to ensure you always feel like the most powerful thing on Earth.

Until the ending. The final boss throws nearly every mechanic out and requires you to use the throw mechanic to hit a very specific point. It's unwieldy for direct aiming like you'd need, and so the final boss becomes a massive drain on the rest of the game.

That being said, it's still worth playing for a vibrant design sense, an invigorating soundtrack, and a beat em up system that rewards learning and persistence beyond most others released at the time. I truly recommend it, especially to genre obsessives.
