    The game focuses on the multiplayer options, up to four players at once. If you are not going to play it with someone, it's not worth buying it.

I am not a graphic-effect lover and do not request from every developer to spend tons of money for the visual effects of a game. I simply get lots of fun from games like DEFCON, FTL, PAPERS PLEASE, EUROPE UNIVERSALIS. Also in PS4 games like FEZ, TRANSISTOR, ROGUE LEGACY or CHILD OF LIGHT tshows that graphics are not essential for a good gaming experience.
    As you know, we can not say a game good because it just has fascinating graphics, but also we can not say a game "indie-cool-back to roots" because of its pixel graphics.
    This game do not offer anything fresh like FEZ, any depth in story like CHILD OF LIGHT or revolutionary character selection idea ROGUE LEGACY or anything new or fresh. Just a shallow slashing game with PIXEL graphics that you may only have fun when you play with 4 people in the same house. That is all.
    Please do not use C64's or Amiga's name even for this ultra shallow-boring slash game. If you really want to play a game from the roots play MOONSTONE or ALIEN BREED. This is a game just tried to be retro with its pixel graphics. It has no similarity with its ancestors

Not only are the controls amazing, and the gameplay quick and exciting, but the attention to detail is impressive - whether it's the animation of the characters or the fact every archer has his own set of sound effects, giving them each their personal "voice".
