    A great, amazing, funny and really hardcore game: Unit 4, developed by Italian team Gamera Interactive, is the 2D "soulslike" platform you are looking for. Guaranteed.

    Unit 4 merges an original character switching mechanic with a captivating 8-bit sci-fi design and great challenge levels, resulting in an absorbing and satisfying 2D side-scroller.

    A pure old style platform ready to trigger your nostalgia and your laughs thanks to the unaltered 2D graphics straight from the late eighties and tons of quotes of old and modern cults. Nothing of totally new but more than a tribute. Rock solid mechanics, variety and a brilliant difficulty balance in level design make Unit4 a good platform for everyone and a hell of a challenge.

    Unit 4 is a challenging 2D platform playable both in single-player and in cooperative mode up to four players.

    Unit 4 is a challenging and unique platformer that serves up a varied and satisfying campaign. That being said, if you don't have the patience to deal with plenty of unfair deaths then you're better off waiting for Unit 5 to come out.

    The option to rotate characters on the fly works well, whilst whizzing round in a little space ship, landing on different planets and trying to navigate your way through the platforming levels, with friends alongside you, should be a hell of a lot of fun. But, the difficulty and unjust feel that comes about means it will probably be more suited to the sadistic maniacs who are happy to put up with a tough life.

    While Unit 4 has some really neat ideas, it barely misses the mark and will probably only attract nostalgia from diehard retro fans. In its current state, all the polish in the world wouldn't address the key issues I have with this title. To put it simply, this game's co-op isn't a big enough change from the retro titles it draws inspiration from.
