### 3/5 — ファミコン世代大人向け

*2026-08-14*

魔界村シリーズよりも遥かに難しい死にゲー
固定された十字キーだと無理がある
布ガムテープを小さく切って上下左右に３重位貼ると良い
まさかの反応する

### 5/5 — Schade!

*2026-03-03*

Leider kein Vollbild auf nicht einmal einem Telefon.
Ansonsten ein schönes Spiel.

### 5/5 — Awesome arcade run-n-gun for Apple TV

*2026-01-04*

Love it on Apple TV...super arcade, controller run n gun.  One of the many great games I discovered through AppRaven community. Excellent combat nuances, appropriate complexity, and replayability, lore, and difficulty.  Just right.  Love the Codexes that let you ‘discover’ more about this little Cursed world as you play through it.

### 5/5 — Super mit externem Controller

*2025-01-29*

Großartiges Remake eines meiner Lieblings-Arcade Spiele aus den 80ern. Da die Steuerung leider doch ein bisschen tricky ist, muss man recht bald auf einen externen Controller umsteigen (zum Glück wird das unterstützt!)

### 4/5 — Very good overall

*2023-05-02*

This is a gem for a certainty. My only complaint is that there isn’t a full screen option. Other than that, it’s just as good if not better that Ghouls ‘n Ghosts.

### 1/5 — Terrible controls

*2023-03-02*

At least give us the option to have a joystick instead of this wonky directional pad.

### 1/5 — 操作性ゴミ

*2022-07-17*

元がフリーウェアのソフトで追加要素込みでもひどい
入力がゴミすぎてしゃがみたいときにしゃがめず左右移動したい時に勝手にしゃがむ
操作性のせいで難易度が高いのは高難易度ではなく理不尽と言う

### 5/5 — 買ってよかった

*2022-07-09*

難易度丁度よく最高に楽しいッス！満足です😄

### 1/5 — Rip off
