What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
They've added the ability to disable enemy AI at will, as well, which allows for easy traversal of the maps for resource hunting and fine-tuned leveling, which can be much appreciated if you understand the mechanics well enough.
The original soundtrack was a masterpiece and arranged soundtrack is just as good.
The main change is the redone HD graphics, which are noticeably crisper and look great with the artstyle on my 4K monitor.
And it even has decent 2-player co-op, albeit asymmetric play (1p is the Hero, 2p is the Sidekick).
Brief details on the port: The game looks amazing in widescreen, the AI upscaling is not perfect but it's the best solution in 2021, the music sounds great (I prefer the original arrangements generally, but you can choose), controller support is excellent, achievements cover the range of things you want them to.
