    Despite Aggelos looks like a simple clone of Wonderboy, the game has a strong personality and it’s really fun.

    Aggelos works great as both a homage to the source material and as a game on its own merit. The faithful reproduction of the Wonder Boy style still holds up today, and while the new powers don't significantly change things for the better, they don't detract from the game, either. The gameplay is solid, and the gameplay length comes in at a good running time, so you'll get your money's worth from the experience even before you set out to play it again on Hard mode. With a great presentation backing up the entire experience, Aggelos is a great title for classic adventure platformer fans.

    A beautiful tribute that it’s also more than that. Aggelos is a very enjoyable game for fans of old-school platformers.

    In the case of Aggelos, the most memorable thing about it for me will be the music I heard along the way. To me, that makes it a standout and one that I'm going to remember. But for those who aren't as taken in by classic game audio, this game may go by the wayside.

    Nice game!

    If you are fan of Zelda 2 (NES) and or Wonderboy (Dragon's Trap or Monster World), then you will surely enjoy and appreciate    Nice game!

    If you are fan of Zelda 2 (NES) and or Wonderboy (Dragon's Trap or Monster World), then you will surely enjoy and appreciate this title.

    The graphic is not as detailed as a Sega Genesis, but surely is more than a NES.
    It's like a NES title on steroid :D

    Characters are simple, with very distinctive traits, and there is not a lot of meaningless chatting.
    If someone tells you something, 99% is very useful, and is an hint to discover something. Like the old school games.

    You will need a Gamepad, to enjoy it at it's best.

    Absolutely buy it, if sometimes you feel nostalgia for Wonderboy or Zelda 2.

    Have a beautiful day!    … Full Review »
