The guy you are controlling has arms bigger then his tiny legs,he jumps like a sissy,he climbs ladders like he's break dancing,and he throws stones as a primary weapon that does little to kill the army of mythical monsters.

The game has very exacting requirements for killing enemies,the stone throwing mechanic is flawed,you have to jump to alter the aim,most monsters are too low,so your stone doesn't arc.

Climbing ladders looks funny due to his arms waving about,but while on ladder he can't shoot,getting on or off you can and will be shot at,as i died getting off the ladder as some enemies have 1 hit kills!

Some monsters like a plant in the first level need you to crouch then throw a stone then jump,it's not fun or easy,and they can fire and kill you when you leave the screen!

The music is criminal,whiny high pitch sine waves that goes on for over a minute,it gets better more like the game music from Onslaught,but when you die it starts all over again.

The levels range from what looks like something from Ghouls and Ghosts to Shadow of the Beast,plains,wells underground,spikes coming out of the ground and worse,impassable sections that require way more the 3 lives given.

Not to mention the end of section bosses,a bird man,a hooded phantom,they drop keys or objects but i missed them at first.

There was a green jumping green jelly guy,he must be killed to collect a key to climb back up the well,if you missed it you'd have to start the whole level over again,there are sort of check points as you re spawn a bit before where you die,but at 3 lives you'd not be using it that often.

Only really playable with the cracking crews trainers,infinite health and lives,its just too hard,the only reason to play this is to laugh at the discount Arnie guy you play as his comical huge arms and tiny legs and they way he jump and climbs.

It's a total rip off of Ghouls and Ghosts,unfair hard and painful to play for more than 20 minutes,it's not a very good example of it's genre or against any of its piers.
