Cast of the Seven Godsends harks back to the days when classic 2D, run 'n gun, action-shooter games ruled the arcades. The game features four levels of difficulty, six worlds to conquer, twelve mid and end-of-level bosses, seven god-like armor sets, five basic weapons and 35 magic combat spells!
Cast of the Seven Godsends is an old-school homage that sadly falls short of delivering a completing experience that lives up to the seven godsends mechanic. The six levels are extremely challenging (and a little unfair); bosses will blissfully bash you in merciless, over and over until you either somehow manage to reach them with Kandar fully-upgraded or get the dreaded 'Game Over' screen. Despite some potential, it's hard for us to recommend this game considering the plethora of superior 2D action platformer games already available on Switch. Perhaps the Gods should have better left Kandar rest in peace on his tomb instead of demanding such an infuriating quest of him (and you).
