Another "hidden gem" going squarely in the irredeemable kusoge category. Bland and boring level design, poorly balanced weapons (just use sword like 95% of the game), nonsensical hitboxes, bosses are a total pushover and will only ever kill you with cheap gotcha bullshit until you know their easy cheese strat, utterly mind-numbing and pointless shmup/gallery shooter sections, is way too easy with way too much HP except when they decide to troll the fuck out of you with retarded one tile wide platforms with 10 flying enemies fucking you in the ass and making you fall in the instant death pit, and gotta love the incredibly fucking stupid and lazy difficulty inflation with the obnoxious checkpoint system...Despite being a late NES game, it uses incredibly obnoxious artificial difficulty in the final boss(es) by making you repeat the most annoying section in the entire game every single fucking time you die to the final boss(es). The worst part is the bosses are incredibly easy once you know what to do, but you get a grand total of about five seconds to assess the boss before dying and being sent back to redo this section. Then when you think it's done, you have to kill phase two, ALSO with no checkpoint, so go back and redo that same bullshit section YET AGAIN. Fucking trash game, you can tell all the little zoomie shits praising this "hidden gem" (read: obvious turd) clearly fucking played on their little gay NSO spamming save states and rewind. Now of course, me I play only on original hardware. Still overall easy game, but just poorly designed and annoying for all the worst reasons.
You're right, I hate Nintendo now
>>12654561I appreciated the infinite continues. Decided to try it randomly the other day and it ended up being the second NES game I've ever beaten (the other one being Mario 3 when I was a kid).
