Despite giving the game a 5, I like it. It's easily the best NES beat em up I've ever played, and has a ton of charm.
Combat's really simple but feels good to do, but does wear thin near the end of it's pretty short runtime, especially with all the bosses feeling pretty samey and easy to cheese. Also I got hit as soon as I entered a screen enough times. That got annoying. I like the idea of the rpg mechanics, but the main issue is that you don't know what items will do until you buy it. So you have to waste money (or do what I did and check a guide) to figure out what's a good deal. Overall, a neat game that feels dated but not annoying.
