FAN ART

PROS

Story is interesting from start to finish.

Characters you can play as on your journey all are unique with own look and all have own moves and fighting style.

Bosses are all fun and all look different and have all own attacks and movement style.

Old style combat very nostalgic like double dragon and fun.

Enemies all have own look, and all have own attack moves.

Simple controls to learn and easy for everyone to pick up and play.

Alot of content for £12.99, has cool retro vibes and cool moves, enemies, bosses.

CONS

Difficult game as has no health items and die easy.

Clunky movement on characters are kinda stiff be nice if they moved abit faster.

No autosave so be careful and no real exploring of levels or replay once you finished the story

OVERALL SUMMARY

I GIVE THIS GAME A SCORE OF 7.5/10

Overall, for £12.99, has cool enemies, bosses and the characters all have own moveset and has alot of retro vibes. However, is difficult as no health items to pick up and characters are kinda clunky would have been nice if they moved faster and no auto save is annoying, no exploring so once story is finished no reason to replay it.
