I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GAME.
I saw a gameplay video for it a while back and thought it looked awesome! I'm definitely giving it a try.
EDIT: Gave it a try. Okay, it needs a lot of work. I've only played the first stage so far, but... The difficulty is relentless, and not in a fun way, either. The hit detection is wonky as hell on a lot of the enemies, and some of the AI is pretty poor, to boot. Some enemies take dozens of hits to kill (skeletons take about 6 hits with the leather whip, felt like I was playing MoF or something). The plot is piss poor, by the way, with some of the worst dialog I've ever seen in a game. These conversations really need to be much shorter. Hell, during one of the cutscenes about a skeleton, I was hit during the conversation about it, and after I killed it, it dropped a heart, but it disappeared during the cutscene.
Also, while we're talking about the hit detection again, the only reason the first boss even killed me is because the first pixel of its boot touched the first pixel of my boot and it destroyed me. And theeeeen I had to restart the whole stage, crappy cutscenes and all.
That being said, though, it's still pretty fun. Despite the flaws, it's pretty good, just needs some polishing up.
EDIT 2: Forgot to mention, the default controls are pretty bad.
