    Not really much I can say for this game except it did give you the unique ability of using the shield to defend yourself. -

    This is graphically advanced for a NES game. Looks almost like an early Megadrive game.

      The release date is pretty on point as well.
      And yes, it is _pretty_ graphically advanced for an NES.
      And it's in an art style you would expect more in an american/european NES game than a japanese Famicom game.
      Because the studio who developed this game, Athena Co. Ltd, is a japanese studio and the game was released in Japan in 1990 first.

      I gotta make it clear that the reason why late lifespan games look so good, is due to mappers
      So this is not actually pushing any limits and doesn't follow the raw limitations
      But this looks really good either way

    THANK YOU so much for this video. Remember playing this game as a small kid, and thinking it was UNFORGIVINGLY hard, haha. I remember being amazed how a friends mom was able to get past the second level. Looking now, I had no idea this game was so short. :D

      It certainly does take some mastering of the controls since they actually made your shield a viable tool.

    You can not only double-jump, but triple or quad jump to the top of the screen if you use a turbo feature (or have very fast fingers). You can swing your sword multiple times on a jump.
    By holding UP + B, you make a downward stroke--good for slicing those bats up there since you can combine it with a high jump. Also good for enemies on the ground, especially in a jumping attack.
    You can block the Wizard's diagonal "blue rain" attack by doing a high block with your shield (UP).
