The difficulty is merciless, but the consistency of its rules makes every death feel deserved.

All you've seen in the reviews and screenshots doesn't do this game justice, as you'll only enjoy the pixel graphics it has to provide once you're actually playing!!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This games weapons are a sword and a spear. unlike the aforementioned Ghosts'n Goblins and Contra this game makes you use the same two weapons throughout. this works, in my opinion, better due to the games level design being built solely around these two weapons.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every level also has an alternate version where you have limited lives, but if you complete them all, you get to go to the secret extra world and face the true final boss for the best ending.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements this aesthetic perfectly—thunderous drums, heroic brass, and ominous melodies accompany the chaos, amplifying the game’s mythic intensity.
