Okay then the likes, the gameplay is pretty good, it's your standard sidescroller get from point A to point B, but what helps to make this gameplay stand out is the fact that we can do close quarters and long-range combat.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The pixel Graphics art style is really good it captures the feel of classic side scrollers from back in the day, with its rich use of colors, it's visuals, it's designs and nicely detailed environments, its vary nostalgic and you can tell the creators really wanted to capture that feeling of older style games.

Complementing the visuals is a lively soundtrack that maintains a sense of momentum throughout the adventure.
