This game is honestly kind of a gem if you can get past some of the more perplexing decisions and janky game design issues. It feels very much like one of those "cookie cutter" side scroller action games from the SNES/Genesis era, but with the difficulty cranked up and tons of forgiveness with continues after each main level. The graphics are definitely the highlight. I thought "Mastema" was the protagonist (The bloody maskless Deadpool looking guy) but actually his soul is trapped by Mastema, who is a woman/demon you fight at the end. I absolutely love the graphics, not only are they retro faithful but there are tons of unique sprites for boss animations etc. that make it feel even more authentic while still upping the quality with modern PC hardware. Basically, every level is three stages, with many boss fights. There are branching paths, but if you miss some you can use the stage select post-game and play the ones you missed (There's an achievement for each).

I wanted to like this, visually it's appealing but it feels bad to play. That said it's sad to hear that this game is being delisted.

Sorry to see this is being delisted. If you like merciless games and dig the style, grab this on sale before it goes. I literally made more selling a trading card from it than I paid for it in the first place. Everything else is a bonus. And I'm genuinely enjoying it messing with me... some people just don't realise that games have become seriously easy over time, in order to include more people.

all i want to know is who traumatized the developer positive review is a meme btw, i just don't want to upset the poor guy even more

I absolutely love this game. Beautiful graphics, great soundtrack. Ive seen a lot of reviews complaining about the controls, but they are absolutely fine, so I imagine that must've been an issue that is now fixed.
