    If you're into old school platformer haves like Castlevania or Mega Man then play this. It's not exactly like anything you've played but it's really fun and ready to get into.

    One of the best indie games of this generation in physical form! Also because this is the Wii U version, it works with the Amiibos!

    I own both the WiiU and 3DS versions and I have to say I prefer the handheld. WiiU looks nicer but I felt the controls are easier on the 3DS.

    This game is destined to go down as one of the greats. I love everything about this old school styled platformer, the developers, and the extra Plague Knight campaign. I cannot wait until the Spectre and King Knight's stories are released and I hope the do more....maybe a Polar Knight.

    After my 7 year old (who is a real gamer) played for a few hours, the game began to get a little complicated for him. He is taking a break from it and going to try again soon.
