Akuji the Demon

Post by Pater Alf »

Another game by Buster (developer of "Guardian of Paradise"):

Game starts where most other games end: Akuji has been an evil demon for centuries and brought pain and deaths to mankind. But one day a great hero showed up, defeated Akuji and his vicious power was sealed into nine stones.
You play Akuji and have to find the nine stones somewhere in the Lost Underground to get your power back and have your revenge on the brave knight...

Cute graphics, nice music, well working controls and a good level design (that isn't confusing at all) make this game highly playable. It might be not as challenging than many other platformers, but I felt entertained.

This otherwise entertaining platformer suffers from extremely poor controls in the air. I learned to live with it, until the precision jumping started. After swimming in lava fifteen times in a row, I was disgusted beyond belief.

Otherwise, likeable enough, nice standard upgrades, pretty poor resolution (full screen caused my game to crash, but maxed window worked fine), super annoying repeated music.
