What players say
Pretty good game. Never played the original SEGA Genesis version but this one was fun for a Metroidvania. Very fast, the controls are snappy and responsive. The story is as nebulous as it can be, I didn't really care for any of the characters and the end was quite anti climactic. Still, all this does not take away anything about how fun the game is. If it was up to me, I would just keep playing levels for the hell...

There are very few games that I'd consider to be perfect. This is one of them. I wish it were available for modern consoles.
Game doens't work anymore so i bought it in vain it's a shame because it's one of the best metroidvanias out there
