As someone who enjoys playing 2D games, this game is excellent! I recently finished it and wanted to give my two cents. In general, this game is more challenging than most 2D games. Most people might expect a level of difficulty closer to Shovel Knight (because oh look, it's a knight! ), but this surpasses it for sure. The enemies are numerous at times, the platforming can be tricky, and the bosses are usually a test of patience and skill, but it never feels unfair for the following reasons · There are several power-ups to purchase · There are several upgrades/weapons you find as you run around · There's a bank system that protects your gold (deaths remove gold, so having this makes death almost meaningless) · Potions get refilled on death · While bosses can be difficult, there are observable patterns in their attacks and you will eventually succeed if you carefully examine them and take your time · You can double your health for a small fee in most towns · Most enemies have a pattern as well so you can learn to best deal with them My only small complaint is that I wish there was more lore to the Knight. While there is a story going on and most characters have a purpose and name, the Knight is just " the knight that fell from the sky". Sure it's mysterious, but some hints of who they are would have been nice. Besides that, I really enjoyed the game. It's well polished, it's challenging, it's fair and it's just fun. 9/10!

Not sure why this game is rated so low. It's small metroidvania game at a small price. For the price you pay, you get more than your money's worth. The controls are tight, the graphics are unique, the game is charming, and it's a good challenge. If you love shooters, Megaman, Metroid, or retro games, you'll love this game. I'd buy a sequel if they make one!
