So I got curious enough to do this one after all.


Yeah, I'd say this one is probably the weakest in the series by default, and considering this is the first entry I have no problem with that.


I was debating on whether to give this a 3.5 or 4, and the deciding factor was not the benefit of being released on a retro console (though I do usually take that into consideration) but the fact that once I got past the not fun beginning section and into the water temple I ONCE AGAIN found myself Not Able to put the Game Down! Even in the face of some of its Stupidly Frustrating Moments!


I'd say this one probably requires a special appreciation for Shantae Games, Metroidvania Games, or 8-Bit Handheld Games to get the most out of it, but it's still playable in this day and age... Though yes, I Would like to see this game get remade one of these days...

The first game definitely has it's enjoyment factors but at the same time imo, there were many moments where it was difficult for the wrong reasons (seriously the camera being so close DID NOT help things). I agree, this game definitely deserves a remake one day thanks to the added experience Wayforward has gotten over the years.
