    Foul Play is a 2d scrolling beat ‘em up in the tradition of games like Golden Axe, or more recently Castle Crashers. The set-up, in which Lord Dashforth recalls his exploits of battling the supernatural through a series of plays, allows for some clever gameplay mechanisms and a bit of humour but it can’t cover up for the simple and repetitive gameplay.

    It’s a shame that the combat is such a drag because it’s the main part of a game that is overflowing with life and excitement.
