Impressively revives an abandoned artform with modern sensibilities, A catchy soundtrack completes the 1930s homage, Boss battles feature a wide array of scenarios and mechanics, Offers a delightfully punishing challenge
Busy visual style isn't ideal for two-player co-op, Revisiting previous boss battles calls for slow-paced treks across three maps
