What players say
Only slightly more insane than the actual 47th presidency of the United States. I owe you an apology From Software. I wasn't familiar with your game.

I haven't been this happy since-- Since that supermarket going out of business sale, when I was searching for my favorite candy and-- I found the last box all covered in dust at the back of the rack! And the expiration date was still good!
funny and very much a product of the 2000s, however, the bullet spongey enemies and overly long levels did me in. Pretty good, but not $25 good.
