I'll just leave a quick review here as I have already done a You Tube walkthrough video for this one detailing the pros and cons which you can find HERE .

Essentially, it is a retro platformer in the style of Indiana Jones with simple mechanics and nicely designed levels.

There were a few things I didn't particularly like, for example, the character cannot fire whilst jumping or crouching, and even worse if you do try and fire whilst crouching, he will stand up automatically, which can be frustrating when you get killed because of it. He also takes his sweet time whilst climbing ladders and generally he walks at a nonchalant pace.

Some of the levels are too easy, especially the 3D motorbike scenes where you have to dodge objects being thrown at you. Those and a few other levels you are most likely to complete on your first attempt. Most of the game provides you with a generous amount of lives and ammo to use, but the levels can be quite long and if you do lose all of your lives you will need to start at the beginning of the level. There are checkpoints throughout which respawn you to that destination when losing a life and overall I would probably say it is not overly challenging, yet I enjoyed the game because it wasn't too difficult. I needed to repeat levels on many occasions, learning from trail and error, and for me it hit the perfect balance for difficulty.

I enjoyed the music played throughout the game, which gave it a retro and upbeat feel, and the graphics were attractive with each level having a particular theme.

🍳Conclusion🍳
Personally, I enjoyed it and it hit the right balance between being too easy and too hard. I needed to persevere on certain levels, especially with the boss fights, but generally it kept me motivated and interested throughout.

I probably would say that it might be a little too easy and basic for seasoned veterans of the genre as the game aims for a retro feel when everything was simple, so don't expect any unusual mechanics. It is purely a jump, dodge, and shoot kind of experience. Still a lot of fun though.
