The Rise of the Action-Adventure Genre Is Exciting To Play Through!

Look: 8/10 I'm such a sucker for Atari colors. enter image description here The level's graphics gave me console vibes, like the upcoming MSX and Famicom adventure and platformer games I'm excited for enter image description here

Sound: 8/10 Gotta love the Atari crunch with a nice song.

Play: 7/10 As clunky as the controls are, I loved the feeling of a king giving a quest/that fantasy adventure RPG feel in an arcade-style game. I'm loving how action-adventure seemed to be a trend in this era. I wish the collision masks/mechanics were better-worked-out, cf., some of the silly running-into-walls mechanics this adept player deals with in this video heh

Feel: 8/10 This was surprisingly well-made and fun, despite how rudimentary it is. Plus, the adventure/quest feel with this style gameplay is something I've been waiting for! I just wish it were more enjoyable control-wise.

Attachment: 7/10 As fascinating and surprisingly fun as this was, it still isn't something I'd return to very frequently. It's a nice taste of the upcoming console action-adventures. I know I keep saying that but ahhh! I'm so close heh. This game in particular got me excited, so I thank it for that. So long! enter image description here
