And it does get hectic, right from the off, as you are swarmed by enemies and forced into a death defying climb upwards with an instant death chasm beneath. That it does so whilst being entirely fair and beatable with practice, regardless of difficulty level, is an admirable feat.

This is a resolutely old-school experience that has beautifully designed linear levels, just like days of yore blasting through a Rockman X or Contra game.
