One of the best and most innovative games of its kind we've ever seen on the NES. The graphics are incredibly detailed and lovingly designed. The same goes for the sound. We're really hoping for a successful Kickstarter campaign and the final version of the game. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 04:08:32.
