Battle Princess Madelyn

I really wanted to love this but the obsession with frame perfect jumps made the early spots just mind-numbing. No fun, just jump into spikes endlessly.

Being a Ghouls n Ghosts fan i actually really dig this game. It actually combines the best elements of the games in the series, I'd convey it as a mixed up "Super Ghouls and Goblins" if there was such a thing. The double jump is back, theres now three layers of armour and the third one is like a super max power up like in shoot em ups. The only thing that would top this awesome game is ...if it was was a series game in the franchise. I'd say I had the same enjoyment from it as the new Ghosts and Goblins game, and the pixel artwork with scanlines is better than that new G&G game. Think Giana Sisters back on the C64 when Mario was rocking NES. 9/10

Better than ghosts 'n goblins, this is a degno erede of maldita castilla

Their mission is straightforward but effective: save Madelyn's family and kingdom from an evil wizard. Rather than complicating the premise with excessive storytelling, the game embraces the simplicity of classic fantasy adventures and allows its environments, enemies, bosses, and retro presentation to carry much of the experience. The game's inspiration is immediately recognizable. Battle Princess Madelyn deliberately channels classics such as Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, combining challenging platforming with exploration and action. Madelyn travels through graveyards, swamps, castles, countryside regions, and other dangerous locations filled with supernatural creatures and environmental hazards. Combat revolves around throwing …

i have many hours into this game in offline mode, so dont let the low play time shown fool you. this is a very good game in my opinion. has proper arcade like gameplay even in story mode. its a nice break from the market demand for souls like combat that i hate so much. arcade mode also gives it tons of replayability. its like 2 games in one. its a solid 7/10 overall. support this developer because we need more games like this
