Title
Don't have much to say here other than I think this game's difficulty curve is counterintuitive to what a difficulty curve should be. The game should not be straight up hard and then get easier and easier to the final boss fight, the by far easiest thing you do in the game. I don't know I just don't think this sort of curve is satisfying for anyone, not to the people who give up on the game because it's too hard to get into, nor the people who stuck around and inevitably be underwhelmed by the end of it. Otherwise, I didn't really enjoy this game. It is sort of deep for an NES game with things like hammers to recruit centurions for a bossfight and different upgrades that occur based on how you complete levels but hardly any of that matters to me because of the bad difficulty curve and the controls being... not great though not awful.

    It has really unique gameplay and a lot of great ideas, but is pretty hampered by typical early NES design. The underplayed Game Boy sequel vastly improves upon this, it's just too bad it never got as much attention as the original.

    That main theme is one of my favorite pieces of music from any video game.
