Castle of Venia

Cool art, old school arcade game play, totally ♥♥♥♥ controls. It is as if they went out of their way to make terrible controls. I got it for less than a dollar, I'm keeping it for frustration purposes. For less than a dollar, all my other games seem that much better by comparison.

Movement and jumping work fine. The controls for attacking are terrible, and made much worse by the level design, which is loaded with uninspired platforming with little ground- most of which is covered by monsters (all of which you need to defeat to move on!) All in all doesn't meet up to the games it aspires to be.

I imagine it`s just a re-use of an existing engine with all unresolved troubles. Nothing remarkably good.

Technically competent, but there's not much of a game here.
