Jrago II Guardians of Eden

Play as hilarious digitized sprites in a janky metroidvania as a demon hunting metal soundtrack blasts, the collectables are passages from the Book of Enoch, everything on screen slows the game down frequently and it feels like it's about crash at any minute. 100% recommended.

Because everything is bad here - jumping, shooting, enemies, bosses, levels, etc. Walk past and take care of your nerve cells.)

I absolutely love this game. Its so jank its authentically 90s. Please keep making games whoever you are.

What the F#$@ did I just buy? The best game in the world. That's what.
