An early take at the twin-stick shooting dynamic, Forgotten Worlds offers a lot of the features of its contemporaries including cheesy dialogue and bad translations. The story makes no sense, the protagonists are over-the-top macho dudes on a mission to save the universe and exterminate everything, and the action is well-paced, although it becomes frustratingly hard and unbearable towards the end of the game.

The sprite work in the game is great, with background and level bosses shining up high. Gameplay becomes a bit tiring since the twin-stick concept is not refined and enough to keep a good level of attention on behalf of the player.
