I got through the first level but how boring. The movement is way too slow and they onslaught the screen with sprites knowing about the slowdown issue. At least it's decently pretty. I guess I just don't click with this series, seems overrated.

While I'm dabbling in the franchise, I figured I'd use my rewind function to finally kick this in the ass. On professional mode with one life! I'll let you know how many thousand times I die.

I started playing this once it was put onto Switch thru their online service that now has SNES games on it. Normally a platformer like this would get me super frustrated and eventually abandoning playing it; however, the rewind function the port allows, in addition to save states, makes the game approachable, while still hard.

I started playing this once it was put onto Switch thru their online service that now has SNES games on it. Normally a platformer like this would get me super frustrated and eventually abandoning playing it; however, the rewind function the port allows, in addition to save states, makes the game approachable, while still hard.

I have been having a LOT of fun with the game, the artwork and ambiance is super cool, and it has been a lot of fun experimenting with the different weapon types.

I have one more level left before beating the game, so full review once I finish.

Beat once on hardest difficulty (Pro). Took a bit to get used to the jumping and was not much a fan of the platforming. I tried out each weapon and enjoyed the blade (sword or dagger or whatever it is) the most due to its rapid fire. Made sure to use its ultimate magic attack for invincibility frames. Found the bosses to be rather easy and anti-climatic compared to the extreme difficulty of the levels themselves and did not like the infinitely respawning enemies (of course I save state scummed hard). The worst part of the game was one organic level with scrolling platforming and the platforms hidden behind the background. Had a lot of WTF deaths there until I went into the emulator settings and turned off the layer that was the offender. Then I had nice simple platforming on a solid black background, just like a good old NES game. I decided not to immediately go through the game again for the real ending. Might do it later.
