    Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is a great looking remake of a terrible game. Level design is dated, bosses are completely luck based and all the hitboxes just feel off. There is a reason that Sonic took over as SEGA’s mascot because no remake can change the fact that Alex Kidd’s first adventure is incredibly frustrating and poorly designed.

    Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is, nowadays, the best way to revisit this classic. The flaws from the original are still there, but Jankenteam has done an amazing job with the visuals, music, narrative and ways to play it. [Recommended]

    Utter garbage selling purely on nostalgia. Even the modern graphics mode looks ancient and the controls are janky as hell

    I'm probably sold on the fact this game looks amazing and the fact the soundtrack is just a wonder to listen to. This game is still difficultI'm probably sold on the fact this game looks amazing and the fact the soundtrack is just a wonder to listen to. This game is still difficult unless you have unlimited lives added on it but its fun.

    I had a wee read through the critic reviews. Maybe the didn't play the game enough, but the bosses are absolutely not luck based. You have multiple chances to get an item that tells you what the boss will pick in the rock paper scissors battle. And the pattern they pick is fixed! It's not a guess. Learn what they pick and it will always be that.
