I loved enemy design and combat. Honestly the should skipped lizardmen as they are too fast and unpredictable too work well with the slow combat. But once you start to fight heavier foes the game gets interesting. Enemies work well with each other and can surprise you from time to time with new parameters of attack.

This game is definitely brutal in its difficulty but it's also incredibly well-designed. I somehow just discovered this over 10 years after its release. I can't put it down! Highly recommended.

I hated this game when I first played it. I came back seven years later and now I really like it. The key to enjoyment is realizing this is a puzzle platformer. It's all about figuring out what moves to do with a bit of timing.

Don't let playtime fool you....I have played this on a different platform. But picking it up on steam to try it on the Deck....yes please! If you remember Rastan from the arcades and loved it...you will know what you are getting into with this. Volgarr is tough. This is how arcade action games were. It is all about dying and learning as you do. The game feels great, and like old school...jumping and not being able to control myself is still frustrating but fun. Level design is done nicely, but I think a little too much of double jump needed. So let me put it this way. Arcade games were 25 cents. Break down the cost to quarters, devide it by 3 for the amount of lives you will get in the arcade...and determine if it is worth it to you. If you love old 80 games like Ghost n Goblins, Magic Sword, or games like it (and obviously Rastan since i mentioned it and Volgarr feels dead on like it), then I think this one is a no brainer.
