Started playing this game the other day. I guess Yacht Club is trying very hard to hit on your nostalgia. Have to say, they missed really hard with this one. I would save my money and not even bother with this game. It feels like all of the bad parts of old nes platformers, mixed with some "modern difficulty". Glad I didnt spend any money on it at least.

I've definitely enjoyed it so far. The only part I'd call bad is the mekadragon boss. That almost killed my playthrough lol.
I played a decent amount of the game already and I have no urge to finish it. That's a bad sign. Just not for me.
I’m really liking it. It’s tough for sure, and they take on some of the unfair elements of the old Ninja Gaiden games but it’s part of the charm IMO. The game gets much better once you get the party and sprint. It’s almost a different game at that point. Really loving the soundtrack as well. Story however, is just cookie cutter.
Sound track is great that I'll give you. I've already got the parry and sprint but the game didnt have to drip feed you abilities. Just so you could backtrack to get unimportant things. It's not that the game is bad, it's just so generic and mediocre. Coming off of Shovel Knight I guess expected something as charming.
I’m really trying to get into it after enjoying The Messenger so much over the summer but I’m several levels in and just not loving it. I’ll give it a few more goes but definitely glad it was free on gamepass.
I thought it would get better. It didnt. It's just a very generic game. Missing all of the charm shovel knight had.
