    Retro platformers might not be to everyone’s taste, but the gameplay on display in Thy Sword is strong enough to warrant giving it a go, especially with three difficulty levels to have a go at. Don’t just think of this as an excuse to grab easy achievements… it is much more than that.

Pressing the X button unleashes a devastating spin attack that will kill nearly any standard enemy with one hit. If you have a bow the B button will release an arrow. If you have a magical charge, indicated by the sword icon in the bottom of your screen, you can unleash a level wiping attack, but be careful went youbuse it as the crystals to regenerate the magic are rare. You have a limited supply of arrows, but they are dropped by the enemies quite frequently. You keep your health from stage to stage, and every few stages you get to return to town and resupply if you have the gold. Gold is slim in supply and it takes a while to save up for the better equipment. Unless you can take out the ravens, and claim the golden key. Doing this will pop open the treasure chest and pour loot onto the stage. The Boss battles are tough, and the bosses are huge. Learn their patterns and you should do fine though.This is an amazing little game and fans of Hack and Slash Platformers will have a blast!… Full Review »
