PC Critic Reviews

Haunted Lands is a great-looking horror title with lots of pixelated blood and gore. It is very hard; there aren’t many checkpoints, and you will start over from the same spot again and again.

Haunted Lands is a bloody slice of shareware-era nostalgia that knows exactly what it wants to be. There are some rough edges that hold it back from greatness, but the craft is impossible to ignore, especially since it was created by one person.

A retro action platformer could be very successful under certain circumstances. But it unnecessarily tortures players and does not forgive them anything. The very frequent repetition of the same passages due to the extremely strict conditions in the game is frustrating.
