HAUNTED: Halloween '86

This game plays really smoothly while feeling true to the NES experience. Things seem daunting and hard, then once you get the feel for it, it can all be beaten in one go taking around an hour, or if you prefer continuing with passwords, it has that too. Lots of secrets to find along the way and power ups so things don't get stale.

The Haunted Halloween games are really enjoyable action platformers that have combat more akin to a beat'em up. Being an authentic NES release means it's constrained to the limits of that system but they mapped your different attacks in a way that just feels right. Progressing through the game and earning new moves to add to your arsenal pushed me along, looking forward to that next flashy new maneuver. The visuals and music are pretty good, the story is solid, and I love that this includes both versions of HH '86. It definitely poses a nice challenge but the rewarding kind that isn't overly frustrating but will definitely test your skills and understanding of the games moves and mechanics. If you haven't played any of the HH games and you enjoy retro games you totally should. Highly recommend!
