Very good port with enjoyable gameplay, it succeeds in preserving and yet innovating the original arcade in many aspects.
But besides appreciation here's a brief bug report:
1. The sword still in the stone
I noticed this after performing an unintentional sword thrust on the bare ground, in that 👆🏼 point of the map.
The first time the bug appeared, a chimera went to save the day by releasing the hero from his sudden prison with a fireball, shot straight in the face.
But not a second time.
Under the same conditions infact, but without any hostile intervention, the barbarian stayed there in the same Arthurian pose as before, with his sword stuck firmly in the stone, until a soft reset.
2. “Half” the Threat
Thought had accidentally split a crouching enemy in an excess of might but instead was just a glitch.
Left the unsettling scene to slash the bat coming from above but IT suddenly BECAME the Half, which remained there until an upwards scroll.
The glitch repeated once again until a third enemy was defeated and the parasitizing Horror, moving along with him, banished once and for all.
Hope it helps improve the future releases.
