    A game that puts you into the shoes of a villain named Crow. The main hook is you being able to play as a villain and be like a boss in certain scenes.
    However, the game plays like a normal platformer - and a boring one, unfortunately.

    Moreover, the game seems to be quite short (3 hours) and the replayability should be you repeating levels over and over and trying to get the best score. The game would have to be fun for us to want to do that, though.    … Expand

    A great idea with excellent presentation hampered by some iffy controls. [Issue#259, p.60]

    Even though it's not perfect, it's a very fun and well-designed, with a good sense of humor. One of those games that makes time fly.

    There is so much heart and so many great ideas in Nefarious that I want to see it as a better game than it is. I want to be able to recommend it as a hidden gem in Steam’s massive collection of throwback indie titles. But I can’t. It’s a sloppy game that feels in many respects half-done. All the heart in the world can’t make up for something that just isn’t fun to play.
