Review vinskithebard 3/5 · Jun 23, 2023

Paholaisen paluu

  • Graafisesti huipputasoa ja mukavan pirullista menoa
  • Lentely ja pelaaminen kontrolleineen hyvin toteuttu
  • Ei ylivaikea ja varsin kompakti peli
  • Kartalla seikkailusta olisi voitu ottaa enemmän irti, eteneminen on suoraviivaista "mees seuraavaan linnaan"-menoa. Elämien grindaus on aika lailla ainoa elementti, mitä kartalla on tarjota.

Platform:

NES version.

Graphics/Sound:

The graphics didn't change much from how they looked in the Gameboy version, only that you can now see from the beginning that the main character is red.

Gameplay:

Just like the first in the series, it's a mix between adventure/rpg with a top down perspective and sidescrolling platformer segments. This time they didn't do random battles, which is a good decision, and there are a few more levels to go through. The story is basically the same thing as the first game, you even restart without any of the powers you earned during the first game. However, this doesn't make the game less interesting.

Difficulty:

Throughout the most part the difficulty is average, comparable to the first game, but in some of the latter parts there are some annoying elements where you have to find the right path through trial and error, and there is no way of telling if you are right before you decide to go one path, that's a bit annoying.

Conclusion:

I can't decide which one I like more, this or the first. They are both equally well made I think, this is a bit longer and has some optional areas which is a plus. But also some of the levels seem less balanced. Both are awesome games in the end.
