    The moments when you stray from the classic side-scroller are enjoyable, and the level variety and focus on the continuity of the adventure are also a welcome refresher, but the difficulty of individual levels varies wildly — from trivial to tedious to a brief filler. The dialogue is a waste of potential, and the knockbacks are as frustrating as ever.

    All things considered, though, I still had a lot of fun playing Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege. It’s a great ode to many classic NES series that plays like it was made during that era, which I suspect is the point. While the hint system is annoying and the bosses were a mixed bag, this is still a great adventure that any fan of retro games should enjoy.

    If you’re looking for retro feels steeped in familiar old-school frustrations, but with some new twists, this may be for you.
