    When it’s firing on all cylinders, the weird and wonderful world of Heidelberg 1693 provides an exhilarating challenge that evokes the glory days of the genre, all punctuated by fantastic and imaginative boss design. If you’re willing to look past the frustrations that present themselves at times in the form of uneven balancing, then Heidelberg 1693 will provide a few hours of horrendous fun that genre fans will lap up.

    Heidelberg 1693 is a savage 2D action-platformer that gives you plenty of gruesome eye candy which hopefully will keep you playing when the difficulty spikes start to test you.

    Heidelberg 1693 stands out for its disturbing atmosphere and a universe full of nightmares, but at the same time it shines visually, the game fails to offer a good playing experience. It lacks content and more attractive features.

    Heidelberg 1693 is a neat action platformer with some memorable enemy design and boss battles, but it often feels as if the level design is at odds with the limitations of the weapon that sets the game apart. Still, I feel suitably proud that I managed to finish it and it still comes recommended for fans of titles like Ghosts n Goblins.
