Review Swords & Darkness (3DS eShop)
Alone in the darkness
Side-scrolling hack and slash games fall into a tricky genre. It's such a simple concept at its core, but it can easily be ruined by something as basic as poor controls or lack of originality. Swords & Darkness, the latest in the genre to make its way to the 3DS eShop, is an unfortunate example of what happens when little...

The game was better than a 4/10 in my opinion. I would give it a solid 7/10 and personally liked it enough to give it an 8/10. As you grind, you unlock new moves and access areas you couldn't previously - for instance, you can unlock a double jump skill which will allow you to jump across a pit you couldn't previously to access a new area. It is very similar to River City Ransom and made by the same company. I found it very fun to play and the graphics were charming. I couldn't put it down for a while. Worth checking out if you like this type of game.
