Trophy Review (Xbox Series S)
Our Trophy Review takes on a brand-new action platformer for the original Nintendo (NES) but on the Xbox!. It is a love letter to such iconic games like the Mega Man series and Capcom Disney titles, featuring colorful characters, vibrant backgrounds, and giant bosses. The game features the classic movements of running, jumping, and shooting, and strives for a pure platforming experience, unhampered by excessive power-ups or useless abilities. Although the emphasis is on purity, Trophy features advanced technical features which have rarely been used in homebrew titles.
