Review- The game has little to say about itself when you turn it on, no overview, nothing. I had a hardtime writing anything above. The game is not a classic NES game by any means. Your unnamed warrior on an unnamed quest will be dropped in the middle of a suburban street with knights armed with maces attacking you, and you must fight them off. You then eventually drop down a manhole and defeat some guy how has the power to throw bats at you and jump. Wow. After this, the game is a particularly impossible to beat snoozefest of fighting, in which you will either turn off in rage or in boredom. There is also a two player mode, in which you can take turns with a buddy playing this game, which is just as fun as playing it in single player mode. Not very much so. Even so, the ability to use a sheild and duck aids for different attacks, and even a sort of crude strategy when facing bosses or your friends in versus mode. The in game music and effects are catchy and well placed, leaving you to give the game another try before shutting it off in another rage against the various boss levels. The sidescrolling beat 'em up/early fantasy RPG journey is an effective concept, but sadly not one that was used correctly in this game. Give it a playthrough, but not at a high cost or urgency. It's a game to play only if you'd like a real challenge that poses no actual storyline (in which case there should be one).
