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.

A title for 1% of the gaming population

Would not recommend. I bought this game around when it first came out and didn't like it at all. Decided to give it another go and my opinion hasn't changed with time. Volgarr is supposed to harken back to the "glory days" with its brutal difficulty. The problem is there's a reason why we don't make video games that difficult anymore. The game would be so much better and so much more accessible if the developers had simply included a scaling difficulty to cater for both those that want a truly old school experience, and those that want something more contemporary. The checkpoints are laughably few and far between, and misleading as well. They only save your progress if you complete the entire level. So you're out of luck if you need to quit the game for any reason whatsoever and you haven't finished the current level you're on. To add insult to injury the difficulty is entirely artificial, requiring many trial and error runs until the level has been burned into your brain and you can complete it flawlessly. That isn't fun. Games like Castlevania are tough but fair. This isn't.

Tough & Fun

It's fun to play, and entertaining. toughest thing is getting to the end of the level segment to the next re-spawn. Expect to die many many times until you've memorized every square inch of the board, know where all the buff-ups are(you'll need them), and know every bad guy coming up. All in all, it's a very fun Arcade type game.

Great Game but lacks some polish

Gameplay: I found it fun, despite it's difficulty and the fact that you die often. The character movement is somewaht restrictiv (can't change trajectory once you jumped/double jumped, can't throw your spear anywhere else but straight ahead on eye-level, after rolling there's a short animation you're stuck in), but it's incorporated very well into the game and it's environment and part of the difficulty (and imo fun) is figuring out how to get through the level with the limited amounts of actions your character can do. Very oldschool in that regard. On the other hand, there's this feeling of mastery once you can get through a world without a scratch, get all the treasures and kill the boss in 15 seconds, which is very rewarding. There's replay value as there seem to be different endings. Also there are more difficult versions of each world, but with limited tries, which you can get by playing flawelessly. The time is also recorded, in case you enjoy doing speedruns and competing with others for the best time. Aesthetically the first five worlds have a great atmosphere and the enemies fit the background. There's not much story, except a little bit after finishing the game. The last world however feels very randomly patched together. All enemies can be present, but behind a somewhat generic background, giving it a kind of unsatisfying atmosphere in my opinion. Not quite the finish I'd hoped for given the beautiful first 5 worlds.

Hard, and I like it.

This review is coming from someone who barely plays hard games (I dabbled with Super Meat Boy) and also someone who has no nostalgia at all for games of this genre. And I love this game, the attacks feel slick and responsive, the platforming feels just right, the music is actual music (not some annoying 8-bit songs that everyone seems to use) and last but not least the aesthetic of the game is very nice.
