Fun game although the music in the game was "borrowed" from Metal Gear on the Sega Genesis/32X.
Reviews for "Magic Steel"
I found it an enjoyable shootey game.
My only two problems were
1) Magic attacks do not work on the final boss, so in the end those felt kind of pointless (I had the upward shot at the end).
2) The Main Menu button on the ending screen does not seem to do anything.
Good solid platformer/shooter. I liked the old gamey feel and the varying upgrade options. Could stand to be a tad more difficult though.
This game is awesome. The upgrading is well implemented, the enemies show resistance and difficulty as the game progresses. I only have three complaints. One, the game is criminally short. Two, the upgrade system should be less evened out. I played through this game multiple times, each time focusing on different upgrades, and I never felt very different. Finally, the final boss sucks. Just straight out sucks. I destroyed him without trying. He should be given more attacks, more mobility, just...more. This guy is supposed to be a formidable final threat. I never felt that way around him.
However, other than these complaints, this game is fun, and well put together.
Pretty good game overall but unfortunately requires intentional deaths and grinding if you want all the medals, since if you're good enough you never die, there aren't enough enemies to fully upgrade, even if you literally kill every enemy in the game.
It's a very easy game but unfortunately the grinding does drag it out a bit. I suppose if you're not very good and die a bunch anyway, maybe you wouldn't notice.
