My favourite 2D platformer of all time.
If you enjoy challenging tight 2D platformers like Castlevania, Super Ghouls & Ghosts and Ninja Gaiden, this is a must play.
It features the tightest controls and combat that I have ever experienced.
But beware. It is fair but pretty challenging for newcomers. If you find yourself quitting games after a tiny bit of challenge this game is not for you.
I must admit that the graphics and the music could be better, but still this remains a 10/10.
