No only you cannot rebind keys, the picture showing your control "options" is a lie. On top of that, the default keys are horrible (unless you are a left handed I guess) because your d-pad is in the arrow keys so you are required to use your right hand for that.... simply put, its as lazy as it gets. I guess I could say you should buy it if you feel bad about getting the rom from some ilegal website, and running it on some emulator, then sure pick it up (but wait for a sale or something).... and then go grab the arcade rom from somewhere and emulate it and don't feel bad about it, you paid for it already!. You will get the exact same default picture quality, and the option to enhance it with actual graphic modes, and of course you can bind your keys to whatever you feel like.
Not much to say. If you love 2D Sidescroller Platformer, you will love this one, it just perfect. Unlike many sidescrollers of the day which are 2D brawlers for the most part, or puzzle games, this one focus entirely in platforming skills, something we don't see all that much strangely enough. Needless to say, the graphics are stunning and the animations as polished as you could possible want, and the coolest thing for me is that it runs in pretty much anything. I was able to play it perfectly even on an HD3000.
I just couldn't get enough fun out of it. In paper it's a great shooter actually, good graphics, decent performance, nice weapons, and yet something is missing. I think it was the environment. As you probably know, it's an open world, only this time is not on an island, but in Africa, and well.... going from here to there to acomplish you next objective becomes quite painful quite quickly. I guess I just don't do well on open world shooters... for the record, I didn't really enjoy Crysis... guess that says it all.
If you are into fighting games, you will probably like this one. It has everything you can ask for a good 2D fighting game. Cool looking characters, quite different one from each other, both in terms of aesthetic and techniques. Good looking HD graphics, great performance (I get solid 60 fps in a laptop with an intel HD 4000), great animations, nice intros. blah blah. Just about everything you can ask for. If you like fighting games with anime characters, and you are tired of low resolution graphics and you want HD... you can't go wrong with this one.
Great game indeed. It has some minor flaws, like the enemies not hearing some gunshots sometimes, but great in general and the top down perspective makes hard to tell whether or not something is blocking the enemy's view (and shoots). I'm giving it 4 starts instead of 5 simple because I'm sick of this retro look so common among indie titles. Give ,e cool HD graphics and it's a 5 out of 5 for me. BTW: The music is amazing. Sometimes I loos levels on purpose, so to play it again and keep listening the music.
If you're looking for a challenging sidescroller, look no further, this is it. And that's in my opinion what makes it great, but aside from that, the games becomes quite boring quickly since every time you start over, the "new" randomly generated castle, is actually the same castle with slightly different architecture, but it looks the same, the enemies are the same, the music is the same... sure you get to play with very different characters every time and most of the power ups are quite cool, but yet, this doesn't save it from feeling repetitive. I would say go for it if all you are looking for is a real challenge.
