incredible platform game, very similar to super castlevania iv, an exquisite gameplay that has a sword and magic skills that you unlock in the levels, these have a lot of variety where you have to solve it with your skill that you unlock, in addition to offering the puzzle
in terms of technical aspects, it is a very nice pixel art that aged quite well
However, in the sound aspect, it declines a bit, the songs are generics (except for the first one) that are somewhat forgettable
the novelty is the digitized voice of the protagonist, which is attractive

the most difficult of the franchise, but it is that difficulty that you simply fill with enemies on the screen for no reason, difficulty that they fixed in the secuels

Incredible soundtrack, game system like gradius easy to learn, it will get you more than a laugh with the parodies and references that appear in the levels

Fun gameplay, many options when choosing a character, it is like playing many games in one, the tactical rpg battle system is very attractive and unique
The only bad thing, the graphics, the year it came out is too dated (looks like a FF IV but better) still lets play if that aspect does not matter to you

Good sprites, excelente pixel art, nice gameplay
Very hard, offers many alternatives to the player with vehicles, a must if you like shooter
