Fae the swift elven warrior fights with twin blades and throwing daggers
Iolo the bearded druid lashes enemies and casts deadly fireballs
Rooney the marauder crushes foes up close or fires cannonballs from afar

Attack in eight directions with a mix of melee strikes and ranged projectiles. Collect gold, find powerful scrolls and potions, and visit the mysterious merchant Ælfwyn to upgrade your gear between battles.
This is where you come in, brave champion…help us save the kingdom of Mercia!

First off for the regular story length, $30 is a little.....err...a lot nuts to ask if you look it as a beat once and move on game. This game can be finished in like 30-45 minutes. But if you grew up in the days of Gauntlet, which this feels like, then it feels like an arcade style experience. And to me that changes everything. It isn't a one and done game. It is a "get a friend and play together over and over" game. Also it does have infinite mode too. For a Gauntlet style game, it is actually a blast to play. There are some enemies that are pretty cheap the way they attack....but that adds to the arcade feel. So to put it simple...if you want a top down hack n slash that brings back the feeling of the 80s and early 90s, but feels modern...this does a very good job of that. If you just want to beat it and move on, you won't be happy after paying full price.

This game is GOOD! If you're into arcade-style games (and I mean REAL arcade, like those from the '80s and '90s), this game definitely deserves a try. I don't think it's that hard on normal difficulty (I finished it on my third try, and I beat most of the bosses on my first attempt), and now I'm trying to finish it on hard difficulty. The real challenge is New Game+ (now THIS is what I'd call crazy hard—I couldn't get past the first boss lol). The controls are fairly responsive, and the characters have minor differences between them (like how they behave when you hold down the shoot button). The stages are really well designed, with a fair learning curve. My only complaint is that the game is really short. Once you master the stages, you can finish it in less than half an hour (on normal difficulty). But then again, arcade games back then used to be short as well. The replayability is up to you—whether you want to finish it with all the characters or on harder difficulties. Recommended!
-Bonito -Barato (peguei com desconto, em promoção custando R$16 reais) - Trilha sonora muito boa Não entendi as avaliações "mistas", com reclamações na jogabilidade? Achei bem legal, continuarei jogando.
very good game, it may not be too long but it is fun
I don't understand the mixed review, the game looks, sounds and feels great to play. I would've preferred the camera be zoomed out a bit more but it didn't bother me that much.
This is great old school arcade fun! If you play it like a twin stick shooter, you will be disappointed. However, if you play it via melee combat, it rocks.
Yes, it's only 4 stages long but it's a good time not a long time
Topzinho, arte e musicas me chamaram muito atenção.
敵を倒すとグチャっとなって気持ちが良いアーケードスタイルのゲーム。デフォルト難易度がハード（残機2）なので、イージー（残機3）かカジュアル（残機9）に変えた方が良い。同じ開発のFinal VendettaはOPTIONからステージ選択が出来たが、こちらは出来ないので毎回最初から。
