I was in love with this game when I was a child and it has stayed with me for over 20yrs. It is so cool to see how well they have lovingly remade it but also kept it true to itself. The hand drawn characters, the real orchestrated music, incredible!

I like side-scrollers with challenges and hidden bonuses. I haven't gotten any charms yet- I'm not at the level that I can tank the special levels until I learn the patterns at the moment- but I know they're THERE to be found and have found at least two of the doors! There's also plenty of "stand there and slash it" mechanics for when the puzzles get frustrating, which is always refreshing to me in side scrollers. I like both puzzles AND hack-n-slash tactics.

I liked the extra stuff in this game though I wish there was another hidden boss to use this sword I found at the end on. Also wish the NEC Graphics and Sounds were available from the Turbo Grafix days, but that's just me. All in all I love the gender switching option for the game but I wish the dragon, mouse, fish, tiger, and bird were also changed for it, but again that's just me I guess. All in all I couldn't put it down until the last task.
