  Let me start by saying this game is just [b]AWESOME[/b]. I've been waiting for this game for quite some time now, been following it since it was out on [i]greenlight[/i], and I have to tell you, I'm so glad it's finally out! This game brings back the 8bit platformer [b]nostalgia[/b] to a whole new level! If you played DOS and 8bit games when you were just a kid, and enjoyed them ofcourse, then this game if just for you! So after that being said, let's go over some pros and cons: [b]Pros:[/b] - GREAT Soundtrack. - Easy to learn game mechanics. - Lots of different enemies and bosses. - Very easy to learn controls (2 buttons for attacking, arrows to move and jump). - Challenging difficulty with not alot of check-points. [b]Contra:[/b] The only negative thing I found so far (which can also be a pro, depends on how you look at it), is that if you get stuck for a while on some part of a level that is too hard for you, the game won't make it easier after you die in the same place a bunch of times. But then again, this can also be considered a pro. 1/10. "Stop playing video games and get a job" :P

  If you love Ghosts 'n Goblins or similar old school games, you won't be disappointed. The AI is frankly easy to read and learn but that is a good thing, because just like the older classics they place more of them and harder mobs as the game goes on to make things more challenging, and that is something that all of the classic platformers have in common and I think that is something that makes those games great. Players learn by playing not by reading some tutorial pre-game. Overall there are a few things I could say needed improvement but never-the-less I do see what the creator was going for and I sure as hell wasn't disappointed. 9/10 for nostalgia.

  The Good:

  Super low price Amazingly has really cool cutscenes Fun and very challenging Skills required 8 bit gra-thicks It's for pennies and nickels Very good soundtrack Well put together levels Enemy sprites are fantastic Cheap as chips Great boss battles Pretty much 2d Dark Souls...........with Orcs!!! Did I mention the price?

  The Bad:

  Need a sequel now! Where is it?!?!? Might make you paint your body green and rub feces all over your walls while screaming 'uuurrrrrgggghhhh'

  The Ugly:

  Orcs....duh

  The Verdict:

  9/10

  I would give this game a thumbs down if it cost any more than it does. However, this game does pose a challenge to the player, being very simple but kind of charming. I'd say it's a good game to beat one level on then put down until you have nothing better to do again. Beating more than one level at a time get's annoying and you will be infuriated by the repetitive music. Overall, a good motivator to all new game makers.

  Nice game for a one guy developer/publisher. The game trailer made me buy this game, but once I started playing it, it was fun and I immediately finished it. It's not to say that it's short, it's just that I'm a pro in difficult platforming games ha-ha. However, I would advise to turn off the music and just listen to something else (e.g. audiobook, podcast or your own music). http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=769848611 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=750989899 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1407433734

  I quite enjoyed this game for what it was. Sure, there are some things about it that aren't perfect mechanically, and it could certainly use some work. I bought this with the intention of wanting to support an indy developer as I am attempting to go through the same process. I played this game through to the end taking a little less than two hours, plus some time just messing around inside the game for fun. Pros: - Price. - Some entertaining, though at times, awkwardly written dialogue. - A variety of challenges from level to level; each level introducing something new. - Retro-esque graphics, if you're into that sort of thing. - A few hilarious references, my favourite being Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero reference. - A short game; doesn't overstay it's welcome. - Appears to be easy, but looks are deceiving. Can be quite challenging! - Good for a few chuckles. - Addictive with a dash of charm. Cons: - Minor mechanical game issues: - At times I would push the thumb-stick one way and suddenly face the opposite direction when attacking. - Clipping into the side of moving platforms and floating for a bit. - If two weapons are on the ground and on top of each other, it reads as one pickup, destroying the second weapon. - Rendering issue where, at odd times, a frame would go completely black. - Enemy projectiles seem to continue through walls. (Died in a spectacularly hilarious way because of this) - Fairly repetitive combat as you can really only swing your sword or throw the item in hand. (Found that just running past enemies and dodging was the easiest way to power through this game). - Some parts are frustrating and annoying due to stacked enemy placement. This being different from a difficult situation, as some of these places you had no choice but to take a hit. I would say that this is a great prototype that doubles as a game. There are certainly a lot of things that the dev could do to improve upon what's already there and build this into something larger and more refined. It's clear that the dev was passionate about what he/she was doing and I have to congratulate them on releasing their game. Keep up the great work! 7/10

  For the 49 cents that i payed for this game, its well worth it. played this together with a friend and finished it witha a single night of about 4h of gameplay, some parts were ridicoulously hard and at times it felt like we were losing our sanity but it was a good game so i recomend.

  For the price you can't beat it! Challanging and enjoyable, this pixel scroller is a must have for rogue fans, and for .99 cents full price the only question is why the hell havent you already bought it.

  Let me just first state that I tried very very hard to give this a recommendation but I just can't. As I play and discuss the game more, I will try to give it a recommendation. Pros: +Soundtrack ;D +Smooth graphics that look great +Full controller support +Challenging.. +Pretty smooth overall +Low price +Controls are alright, above average I suppose +Haven't gotten any cards yet, but they're a plus Mediocre: ~The Orcs are inconsistently consistent. It appears that they will sometimes swing at you from say 6 pixels away and sometimes only when you're 4 pixels away. I don't know if this was meant to be but it makes it much more difficult to defeat them. ~The GUI could be a little more developed ~Level design. Somewhat unique, but they can also be long and repetitive. ~The story is alright, just enough to make it enjoyable IMO but could be more. Cons: -Soundtrack ;( gets repetitive and very basic.. but it's so-so -Not a lot of "menu" type options, more focused on gameplay -When you die, for example, it instantly respawns you at the start with no message, I think at least something would be nice -Archers and Wizards-- unfortunately, these two will kill you before you can even see them. What I mean by this is say you're jumping up a cliff- as soon as you get to the top, an archer will one shot you. With Wizards, the same situation sometimes happens or oftentimes they'll kill you when you havent even seen one on the screen yet. Very annoying when you're trying to progress long levels. -Inconsistent knockback as well as some other things.. you'll hit an archer back and sometimes you can instantly swing again and kill it, other times you have to move towards it and swing again. This results in you inconsistently getting hit in this manner. -Several hitboxes are not precise. Additionally, sometimes your character will be floating above a block or your feet halfway into the block. -The aforementioned cons just make it frustrating to play overall without it appearing to be simply another "challenge" :/ -I would like to see some more items/weapons/powerups -It seems sort of like an Early Access game, or even possibly a Flash game in this state. ---Update: I accidentally pressed New Game instead of Load Game once and it reset all my progress. No confirmation or multiple saves? That's a big problem, especially when the game launches on the "New Game" menu option.--- ///In Conclusion/// This game definitely has potential but I'd really like to see more out of it. A few things on these lists could be intentional to make the game harder, simpler, etc. by the Dev, but I just can't leave a recommendation. I will continue playing it and seeing if I like it more, I believe I'm about halfway through. I hate to leave negative reviews, and this is my first, so hopefully something the developer does will change my mind. Clarifications on anything from the Dev would help as well. Well, this is a very long review for a $0.49 game. Thanks for reading and I hope I was helpful! Edit: After accidentally pressing A on my controller twice when launching, it reset all my progress. That's pretty bad, so I don't feel bad leaving a negative review anymore.

  Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Orc nation attacked!! This game was incredibly fun for its 50 cents. Well worth it.

  I've thought that i was going to like this game but its too hard to enjoy it. If you would have 5 lives instead of 3 it would be perfect. I don't know if i recomend this game or not,if you like hard retro games than play it.
