Even for NES standards this game is kinda bad.
Although the visuals look nice for the most part with everything looking distinct and clear, how the game is presented makes it fairly difficult to see if you're making progress across a level or not as it feels like revisiting the same areas over and over. It even gets worse around the exploration section where every room looks way too familiar and without a map of some sorts I’m just going around in circles.
After restarting the game with a guide, it becomes obvious this game is actually really short since I managed to get all the weapons needed and head toward the final boss. One thing I do like though is the amount of text in this game as a way to show there is an actual story going on. The controls are kinda floaty with a lot of the movement really making me nod my head as to how Sakurai recreated the movement in kirby and smash bros. It's not bad but it can get overwhelming with how the enemies move but that's not necessarily an issue for me at least. Surprisingly, this game isn't too unfair for the most part.
Really my biggest issue is just the fact the gamefeel is just kind of bad with how it forces me to use a guide and how I just don't really feel rewarded in completing stages or exploring the area. There’s definitely way better NES games than this, definitely a skip and find something better out there among the retro library.

The time has come for the true Pit to step forward. Who will you guys choose? Me, or this fake! But turns out, he might just be good enough to be my fake. Also, I'm technically supposed to be the Dark Pit. But idk this user name came from spur of the moment when I was 11, sometimes there is nothing more to things. The same thought process applies to Kid Icarus to a T! Sometimes, less is more. Still, I would've liked it more if there was more, it works alright, but a little pizzazz would suffice. I guess this ain't no Teen Icarus huh. Have you guys seen the reject project for "Icarus" on the Wii? Good heavens. The kind Pit lives in. I don't know how they thought it would actually happen. The dark HAS to be underlying. Or maybe river twygz from Super Paper Mario gave them false hope? History sure is fascinating.
Oh, the game? Oh right. You know, Pit is that G when you think about how he leads an army whilst not being able to fly and arrows that don't last the winter. Bro thought he was him and I have to be reminded that, yes he is. I happen to read manuals for old games, and there are multiple pages for the lore, sadly I must say it's a waste of paper ain't nobody fw allat 😂 although it does explain the most iconic part if the game where you can collect mallets and use those toabsolutely murder like holy shit Pit has cojones free one member of your army to help you against the level's boss. This is probably what led the designers to make them HP sponges, but that's still a tad excessive ain't it? Metroid kinnie 😭 I'm giving the bad guy my arrows like he's collecting my lunch money. In days like these, naughty kids like Icarus should be burning in Hell (pretty chill place in this game ngl ngl).
It's not a very hard game, is it? It's pretty fair even with some enemy placements that an overworked employee might have cooked up. I suppose it mainly refers to labyrinths. Being forced to become an eggplant? Fuck off my man, I do not identify as no eggplant no sir 🖕 who let the far left ideology in my kids game?? Nah that's crazy though cuz enemies rain from the sky and everytime I aim upwards, it's a hit & miss... then I get robbed by one of Snow White's lackeys and I have to hit the black market to retrieve the stolen goods. The kids game might not be so kiddy??! Also there is free healthcare thank god I thought I might have been american but I am scottish 🙏 I think the lack of walls in favor of rising the killzone works wonder for the vertically focused platformer. You lose some cover as you progress, if you're not happy with it fuck it here's a scrolling shooter. Scroll deez nuts!!
