A side scrolling action game where you play as Lee Wong fighting your way through five stages to take back some stolen scrolls and rescue the children in your village. Stages are broken up into multiple areas with a boss battle at the end of each. Stages include flying levels in addition to the normal platforming areas.
 
Good Bad
  • Essentially unlimited continues
  • Weapon upgrades
  • Frustrating platforming
  • Constant knock back
  • Takes forever to defeat bosses
  • Very difficult
  • Some weapons are just bad
  • Flying levels are annoying
  • Constant enemy respawn

2 A terrible game that is more frustrating than fun. The platforming areas with constant enemy spawning and knock back will have you throwing the controller across the room. I hate the boss battles.
