Pretty good for its time period. More interesting than I thought as a kid. Back then I couldn't get much past the first level.

Difficulty feels a bit unfair at parts. And can be very frustrating. You have to commit to playing through a lot of the game at once to get to a save point. Very confusing mechanics that it doesn't explain well. Once I looked up "how to play" basically, it all made a lot more sense.

The cutscenes and character designs aged very poorly (the female character designs are absurd). It is very obviously pre-feminist video game critique.

Classic review move, but it honestly feels like a really simple, arcade-y Dark Souls. There are long sections between checkpoints, so you memorize the level layouts and enemy locations, and how to easily defeat them.

Strangely, the bosses are really easy, especially in comparison to the regular levels.
