Games Asylum: “Had this 2D platformer launched in the 90s, it would likely be mentioned in the same sentence as Natsumes Pocky & Rocky and Konamis Goemon (aka The Legend of Mystical Ninja,) due to it featuring similar sights. This too uses ancient Japanese folklore as its central theme, set in a world full of ykai of varying friendliness. It plays like neither of these SNES classics, however, being conceptually different from most 2D platformers out there.”
