An underrated gem for the Gameboy Advance. Sabrewulf is a fun, if not sometimes frustrating puzzle platformer game. Before Henry Hatsworth there was this game. Each world has roughly 7 or 8 levels and as you traverse through each one you unlock and find new creatures to use in said levels to help you advance. From a gorilla whose belly you can jump on to gain extra height, to a Phoenix Feather you can use to make you temporarily invincible, to a giant stone golem that can instantly crush anything, makes everything incredibly varied and fun. With that being said, some of the level layouts can be pretty infuriating sometimes with some having an overabundance of enemies in one area or just not having an area for you to quickly catch your breath so you can decide your next move. Aside from that, this game still exudes that Rare charm you've come to know and love. If you've exhausted your usual GBA games, give this a try.
