I was surprised this game was actually a fun time. I saw a youtube video on the game and just thought maybe this would make for a fun time to play. It reminds me a lot of Ninja Gaiden on NES and I'd argue its even better. That's not to say it's perfect though.

If there was a few gripes I have it would be that personally I wish there were more of those car chase and first person gallery shooter levels, there's only 2 of each in the entire game and it's a shame because they are fun especially the car chase stuff. Another gripe I have is I feel like sometimes they throw too many enemies at you and the only reason it's not too awful is just because the game loves to give you health items.

The game also really isn't that difficult especially when you learn the levels and bosses which personally I don't mind, better than it being really unfair. Also thank you game devs for allowing infinite continues, I hate when older games like this didn't give infinite continues. Overall though, if you have a Switch or you somehow find the original cart for cheap, give it a try. It's a fun action sidescroller that deserves a little more love.
