I gave this a go on the analogue pocket I'd picked up as there was a certain novelty in exploring an older licensed game I had no idea existed. I was pleasantly surprised at first as the game presented itself a low budget side scrolling action game with combat that was fairly fun. The first three levels weren't amazing by any means but a neat way to kill time. However, the fourth and fifth levels served to undermine the front half of the game. The fourth level added additional platforming elements unbefitting of the controls, a labyrinthine maze to navigate, and enemies with annoying debuffs that only cleared with time. The fifth and final level had a timer running throughout (even upon death) in order to get the game's good ending which, in turn, incentivized avoiding the game's lone strength of combat in order to complete the stage in time. It's disappointing as I thought I'd encountered a forgotten gem only to see it all fall apart at the end. I'm not sure I'll ever revisit this one.
