I have to say I like the art but the controls were eh and there’s better games for the money for switch. I’d recommend Tiny Barbarian, Cave Story+ or Axiom verge first

I purchase games a lot and I usually lose interest very quickly. This game however is a lot of fun, and kept me playing until I finished it. I look forward to playing this game over and over on my switch.

This is a really good platformer/puzzle/exploration game. Solid boss battles that aren’t too tough for the average gamer.

This game is bringing old school back in a modern twist! If you love retro games and fall in love with captivating sound tracks, this game is for you. I love that there's an adventurous exploring aspect that leaves you dying for more. You'll get intrigued throughout diff. stages. The only con i can think of is the limited number of weapons you can use to kill villains. I'd def. prefer to expand weapon options. Other than that, it's pretty gratifying for a short-fun play.

This game plays smoothly and looks wonderful. It reminds me of "Mega Man" but with fantasy elements.
