    Battle Kid looks, sounds and plays like something straight out of the 1980s, and I’d encourage anyone to check it out. The Fortress of Peril is waiting...

    Even as someone who can finish any Mega Man game before breakfast, I found Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril to be one maddeningly difficult game. It does a lot of things right, though, so it's worth checking out for any hardcore retro game enthusiast.

    Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is an old-school platform title with hints of Metroidvania chucked in. Consequently, it is brutal, frustrating, but oh so moreish. You'll scream and want to quit as you die repeatedly. However, a hero is needed to save the day and you must step forward. This is a must-play for fans of retro gaming, but it may be underwhelming if you are on the fence.
