Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.
So on to the part where you actually play - an overly-simplistic side-scroll beat 'em-up, where you'll sprint through temples of forgotten gods and shady underground laboratories, forever mashing a single button to execute a single three-hit combo. A decent selection of omnipotent alchemy attacks helps quell the monotony, and the blood-thirst is punctuated with some creative and sometimes amusing stylus mini-games.
The game's served in 10 to 40 minute portions, and you can only save after completing an episode. Which is fine for the shorter bits, but after spending almost an hour thumping fool after generic fool, dying near the end and restarting might cause you to smash this false idol.
