Overall the game is really good when it comes to controls, visuals, length and music. The only negative thing I can say is that combat was limited to 2 melee moves and the bombardment attack; now I don't mind simple games, but even by NES standards you would expect a few sub-weapons to complement the melee attack. For the genre the game has a good length, I think I counted 15 stages that are further split into multiple parts, including space shooting section. My save file said that I played for about 2 hours but it was closer to 4 because I lost all my lifes several times. Apparently, you can get multiple endings, although I am not sure what exactly determines the outcome. I played on normal difficulty which had a reasonable challenge, it got a little hard toward the end but it never felt unfair. The pixel art was absolutely gorgeous, especially in some of the later boss fights, if anything the visual spectacle by itself is worth the price. However, I kinda felt like Olga's eyes were...

I feel a little bad leaving a Not Recommended here. This is where a neutral should apply, but I went with no because I got to the end (11-2 and 11-3) and the platforming got ridiculous with instant death pits and bad checkpoints and I could either git gud, watch the ending on youtube or just quit and never touch the game again. Seeing as how I went for the latter I settled on Not Recommended. The game does have though: Great NES vibe Excellent old school soundtrack Great controls Co-op (which I didn't try) However, the game just has such uneven difficulty most enemies you can just run through and soak up the damage, then comes a lava boss who knocks into a instant death trap. A second form boss whose first form takes way to long to get through again (really FOUR spears?) and then the final castle I just called it quits. Lack of an engaging story (which may be a plus for some) means that this just became all about the gameplay which I was no longer enjoying.

Fun, fast-paced platformer with occasional shoot-'em-up levels. Your character has a melee attack, double jump, dodge roll and airdash and you fight your way through 16 worlds with unique environments and bosses. The focus is more on combat than platforming and enemy encounters can get a little repetitive, but it's still fun mowing down hordes of soldiers and military vehicles with a little anime girl. Or two anime girls if you play local co-op. Only real gripe I have is that some bosses can be cheesed by tanking hits and spamming attacks, even on the hardest difficulty setting.

My experience with this game was quite good and I had a good time playing Infinite Beyond The Mind. To begin with, it has quite good level and background designs and the soundtrack accompanies it quite well, in addition to the fact that the Story is quite easy to summarize in a few words, it has 3 difficulties, 2 with the possibility of saving and one of them reappeared quickly, and finally, the most difficult although not so difficult, I will explain later, which is an expert who starts the game with few health points, 1 extra life alone and without the possibility of saving in the Of course, what makes that difficulty and this game feel like an old school one. Oooh! and when you die you have to do the level from the beginning. With the possibility of playing with a friend or brother in Cooperative mode. I have not used a controller for this game, so I used a keyboard and changed the controls for a little more accessibility, as I currently don't remember the default controls. It is a...

It's...okay, the problem is mostly that, it's just okay, you really feel like going through the motions playing this game but it's not incredibly good nor awful, it just feels like a regular platformer, albeit an easy one for the most part. Simple combat with attacks that are easy to dodge, good soundtrack and all that, it's just such a regular platformer it's easy to forget, the main reason why i don't recommend it though? Because not everything is well designed and the most memorable moment happens because of it, the Scorched Beast boss fight can instantly kill you...because you spawn on top of lava, and man, i sure enjoyed having the black screen saying the boss's name and DYING BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING the second and third times when i was caught in shock, normally i would be nice and recommend and serviceable platformer, but the game sometimes pulls out unfair tricks, very rarely, sure, but i HATE things like this. Particularly for a game with a Lives system, oh sure, you can...

If you are a retro platformer junkie, you will probably find a lot to like here.

Just getting into the game and I have to say that I am very impressed. Great pixel art, tight controls and fun game play. It is a big thumbs up from me so far. Great sound track as well. Update: This game absolutely rocks. Perfect difficulty makes for a great time.

Overall this was a pretty decent game. It inhabits a fine smooth difficulty curve on normal and expert, it also provides a classic life system as a gameplay feature, which becomes even more significant if you play on expert where you have to play through the game without losing all lifes. The game controls are as intuitive as they are simple, there is not more than running, jumping and slashing (and slashing midair) because of that fact the lenght of the game (approximately 3 to 4 hours for the first time) doesn't feel perfectly justified I think there are 3 or 4 levels that could be easily ditched so I have to admit it overstays its welcome towards the end. Regarding leveldesign: there are stages that rely more on plattforming than others these are the ones who offer most variety and were personally to me the most fun. The usual run of the mill stages, remind more on games like Ninja Gaiden, there are some challenging as well like Fort Gunrose, but overall these are usually the more...

Works great and out of the box on the Steam Deck. The game is a bit too easy. Your dodge is too powerful and almost unlimited and enemies take far too long to attack after appearing (so most die without ever attacking). Most bosses lack invulnerability frames or mechanics, which allows you to, with your quick attack speed, obliterate them right after they appear on screen or you can just be cheap by electing to attack without worrying about enemy blows knowing your attack speed will deplete their HP faster than they can deplete yours. That said, it's not a bad game for its price.
