Very good and fun action platformer with some annoyances. To start off the lives and continue system is atrocious. Similar to comix zone this game has no continues and only 1 life to start. It’s a huge problem and if it wasn’t for the level select code (that’s already kinda annoying to input) this game would be so annoying. Thankfully cheats are there and it can help you get around some outdated forced difficulty.

What you get however is a fun fantasy side scroller with some occasional futuristic environments. I’ll admit going from mountains and forest to a zeppelin and literal space ship is a bit weird but it helps give this game a unique feel compared to other fantasy games and helps ramp up the intensity in scenarios each level. I all around really like the levels here and the gameplay is pretty fun. It plays differently from most action games giving you a big lightning attack that will attack anything in front of you however it has a meter you have to keep a look out for. Balancing having an op attack vs limitations is pretty fun and it makes for a rewarding experience. The bosses can also be very enjoyable offering new ways to use your powers. I guess my biggest issue is really the health bars. For yourself it’s a bit too short and while yes part of the fun is to stay on top of it collecting power ups and health pick ups keep in mind the punishment here can potentially leave you starting the entire game over just with a handful of deaths so it’s an experience that disencourages trial and error despite being heavily designed around it. Also some bosses just go on for way too long. So overall it’s quite good and very unique but the difficulty balancing is pretty bad and does hold this back from being great but it’s still damn good.
