Completely falls apart at the end.
For the first hour or two of the game, you really feel like this dev understands what older gamers want from an NES throwback. I doubt most people who played the NES back in the day want games like this and Cyber Shadow to be hard and janky and stiff in ways that only make gaming worse and terrible. No one should WANT to be throwing their controller or pounding on the couch in rage. After completing the transition from 8-bit to 16-bit in this game, I can say that the difficulty spike is disgusting just before the transition, and almost made me quit the game forever to avoid cortisol giving me a heart attack. I personally consider devs intentionally raising adrenaline and cortisol, which causes heart disease, murder. So while this dev is slowly killing us all with completely unecessary difficulty that goes far beyond anything the NES could have thrown at you, I'm sure he's also fobbing off cirtics with "then don't play the game." Fine, and this review will be here to warn away anyone else that values their health and the genuine enjoyment of their free time. You have to love that psychotic egomaniac replies most devs give when they deliberately anger customers so much. What is with people over-rating this game? Especially compared to Cyber Shadow? Most of the dialogue literally laughs at you for putting up with how overly frustrating everything is. Like the dev or devs are actually mentally torturing you for losing your money. Especially with that heinous mechanic of having the little blob follow you around counting the times you die. Seriously, what is wrong with these devs? That transtion in graphical style should have been the end of the game. And it is for me. I'm done with it. And you human garbage didn't even include a difficulty setting. Off to a game that actually wants me to enjoy it.
Is this helpful to you?
