I just discovered this demo of a retro arcade style sword & sorcery game and I think it's a lot of fun.

Quick Review

PROs

I think anyone who likes retro games or pixel art is going to enjoy it immensely. You can play up to 4 players. I've only tried 2 players and we had a great time playing.
You can cooperate or compete with other players, as you share a common credit pool but there are exclusive equipment only to the player who collects more treasure during each stage. This is fun.
Solo play is a bit different, calmer and more technical.
Characters are fun and with a different playstile: a barbarian who hits hard, a valkyrie who can parry and counterattack, somekind of assassin and a warlock with black magic that is capable of absorbing souls and buffing his attacks.
Pixel art is beautiful.

CON:

Demo is short!


If you try it, let me know what you think!
