Difficult pass off as fun design

This game tries to be hard for the sake of being hard. It's an intentional design choice but not a very fun one. Really it's just frustrating. First if you don't have a controller don't bother, the keyboard controls are ugly. With a controller it plays out much like 16 bit platformers of old, but it's insanely hard with no option to change difficulties. Instead of making more interesting gameplay, possibly leveling options or gear/move choices, the devs decided let's just make this as hard as possible so people repeat levels a bunch of times to win. The game has very little variety, just a bunch of hard stuff over and over, just you trying to master simple jumps and attacks to not die during the same level over and over. It's not fun for more than 20 minutes.

It isn't fun.

Feels more like programming a macro than playing a videogame.

Hard game

Hard game. Not for everyone. Not worth 10€. Maybe 5€.

Great game save for one major flaw

As others have said I quite liked the look on the game and thought that it was going to be a tough but fair experience however the lack of frequent checkpoints and an obscure level select system prevent me from recommending it just as I thought I got the hang of the game it would to constantly through challenges that took so long to understand and overcome purely from repetition that any fun I had and accomplishment I felt defeating its many challenges was lessened by the fact I couldn't save unless I beat the boss of the first level for which it takes far too long and is far too difficult to routinely bash my head against a wall just to make a sliver of progress in a game I stopped enjoying about an hour in has so much potential but is easily ruined sadly

It's been a long time.

A platformer that isn't a fluffy kitties and rainbows. If you spent far too much time playing Rygar on the NES this is probably the game for you. The boss battles are a lot harder than anything from there, more like some of the more difficult bosses from Act Raiser, but Volgarr is completely fair in its repeated slaughter of your little viking. I'm glad it showed up on sale, I probably wouldn't have bought this if it didn't, but now that I have I'd say it's worth picking up even if it isn't marked down.
