Sound: 5.5 out of 10
Gameplay: 5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 5.5 out of 10
Overall: 5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics weren't bad. While the color scheme was
off, most of the graphics reminded me a bit of Ninja Gaiden. Enemies
looked pretty neat in this game too.
Sound: The music was also pretty good. Some of the songs were
actually good, but none of them were annoying. Sound effects were
lively, but they could have been better.
Gameplay: At first glance, this looks like a Ninja Gaiden clone, but
it really isn't. First of all, when you get hit once, you die, which is
pretty annoying. Second of all, you get different weapons, like a
staff, and use it until you pick up another powerup. Also, characters
are bigger in this game and you're less interactive with the scenery.
Controls are pretty good, a lot like NG, but the dynamics are just a
little off. Still, it's an interesting game.
Hardness factor: For a while this game is pretty easy. You just have
to duck projectiles and learn when to jump. The enemies are also
slow at first. However, it does get progressively harder.
Overall: 5 out of 10. This game wasn't bad; it just wasn't very
exciting. Ninja Gaiden was definitely a better game and I'd
recommend that instead.
