Is it still worth playing?
Pit fights through the Greek inspired Angel Land to find three sacred treasures and rescue the goddess Palutena, in this 1986 action platformer with role playing elements. There are four worlds, each made of a side scrolling level, a vertical scrolling level and a dungeon where you wander from room to room to reach a boss. His bow has unlimited arrows, and three power items upgrade it or protect him, though they only work while his health is high enough. Defeated monsters leave hearts, which buy items in stores, and enough points at the end of a level raise his health bar. Each dungeon boss guards one of the three treasures. The mix of side scrolling, vertical and dungeon levels still varies what each world asks of you.
