Mastema out of hell is a side scroller, there is something a like a lot about Mastema out of hell, make me want to make this game one of my favorite games, but I have already some favorite games, there is no logic having more than 3 favorite games, hmm I liked a lot just skip the main menu, the main menu have a lot things, buttons here and there, tutorials hmm the main menu can make you not interested before start the game, but keep it up get to the game, skip the main menu breath, and see how awesome it is, it have awesome animations, amazing oldschool gameplay, what I mean by that is difficulty is high, but the powerups are very powerful, I would say it reminds me pitfall for nes, but with mega drive graphics and a lot more action, sound effects are awesome, I think this is really great for the side scroller genre, and I would love to see some clones with the same quality, I don't know about you but, graphics looks awesome to me.
