Since I was too young to fully appreciate the original version on the Amiga, I was excited about this remake. While it didn't disappoint me, it didn't have a groundbreaking impact either.

The combat system is enjoyable in a cautious way, relying on quick reflexes and timely decision-making rather than strategy. The addition of an instant-kill feature for enemies feels refreshing and adds an extra layer to the combat. The artwork is visually appealing and aligns well with the serious tone of the story.

The platforming aspect is a bit awkward, but it doesn't demand much from the player. The game is also relatively short, especially when not aiming for full completion, although I'm not sure if that's necessarily a bad thing.
