A top down action platformer that feels like an evolution of the original Legend of Zelda's combat.
Twitter informed me it's her birthday, so I guess I had to play the game. Think I made a mistake by playing it on PC-E, I had fun with the simple slash-mashing but there's a lot of issues with the visuals and hitboxes that I doubt were in the arcade.
Games I was reminded of immediately: Pocky & Rocky, Legend of Oasis, Vampire Survivors. Those are some pretty sweet games.
Above average for arcade standards since it doesn't seem repetitive and has some depth. I wish I had someone to play in co-op with.
Absolutely still has it's arcade claws piercing right into my veins because after my first time through my first immediate thought was "I want to play that again!"
L move on Bandai Namco & Hamster for not providing the PS1 translation for the Arcade Archives. Would be a huge shame if I couldn't understand some crucial information because SOMEONE didn't want to provide the sauce! Good shmup x jrpg hybrid, might look into the PC Engine port in the future.
