The eponymous main character is an opossum knight who fights an army of yellow wolves and robots. He is armed with a sword that can fire energy bolts and a rocket pack that allows him to fly short distances. The gameplay remains mostly the same as in Mega Drive games, with the most notable change being the addition of a short-distance rolling dash. One major difference is that the game's final level depends on a difficulty player selected. On easy, the game culminates with battle against Axel Gear, but on normal, the story continues with Sparkster fighting the leader of the Wolves on the next level. On hard difficulty, the game continues beyond that, with the true final stage. Read less

Beat on normal. Not familiar with the series and not a fan of anthropomorphic characters. I was a little confused at the opening about whether the king guy was good or bad, because there is no text. The game is a mix of Mega man (which I like) and Sonic (which I do not like), so I played the game at a sedate pace like a shooter. I barely scraped by the bosses but the fights became easier as I learned to use the rocket pack better. I hated the part where you only have a very short amount of time to make a precise rocket boost or die, during flooding. That was very frustrating. Even worse was the bullshit rockem sockem robot boss fight, for which I had to check a walkthrough; which basically said good luck. Who decided this was good gameplay?

Overall the game was good, with my favourite part being the shoot em up level.
