This is a fantasic action platformer! For anyone who has played Dracula X to death (like me) look no further than this! The graphics are good (although parallex scrolling would have been nice) and are an improvement over the likes of Valis III & IV and it isn't too difficult. The game involves ninja's, swords and knives and is very addictive, bosses are plentiful and good fun. The music is quite good, with meaty sound effects. My only niggle is the plentiful dialogue in between the action and average cut-scenes...While this doesn't affect the gameplay, they are a little long. This game is much more enjoyable than the Valis series IMO and can be picked up for a decent price: top game!!!
