Some things you just gotta own and no need to ask questions. 10/10 for me. Great everything, this game will become as rare as a wolverine strolling thru your back yard. Before it skyrockets in price, do yourself a favor and buy it. You like castlevania, blaster master, & mega man? You like 8 Bit retro games? You like old school nintendo music? Its all here. The cherry on top is that the game is $35 bucks, i would easily pay $60 bucks for it or maybe more. This kinds of games collectors pay $200 dollars when they're out of print. No need to say no more.

Fun 2D action platformer and awesome pixel art

This is an extremely fun 2D action platformer with incredible pixel art graphics. The gameplay is addictive and there's so many weapons that all have their use. I don't usually like weapon durability in games, but this one hands you so many weapons and unlimited inventory, so you really don't have to make super difficult decisions on what weapon you want to waste on which enemy. The game might be a little too short for the price, but I like shorter games anyway.

I LOVE the fact that Indie Devs keep the 16-bit art style alive and kicking well into the HD era of gaming. This one is a MUST HAVE!!!

NES Classic Feel

Panzer Paladin doesn't reinvent the action platformer wheel, but it does an excellent job of balancing the aesthetics and feel of an old-school action platformer with modern ideas to make it a totally cool experience. The true power of weapons is only unlocked through their destruction, adding an additional layer of strategy to each level and boss fight. Aside from its retro aesthetic, it has plenty of nods to NES-era games without drowning in nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It doesn't quite reach the heights of something like Shovel Knight, but it brings a lot of great ideas to the neu-retro genre while feeling like you're at home on the original NES.

Panzer Paladin meshes old school gameplay similar to Zelda 2 with a MegaMan story progression. It does a great job of bringing old school vibes but the weapons can feel samey. I love that you can design your own though.
