"You and Timmy are about to have a bad day... a very bad day. Timmy is just a kid, a promising student in a combat training program. Then this exiled turncoat shows up and exacts his revenge by blowing up the program and stealing their secrets. Now Timmy's gotta grow up real quick ... he springs into action, dawns a secret special combat suit and pursues the turncoat Chester to the abandoned wizard castle - the Fortress of Peril.
"So a kid is about to save the day?? Not just any kid -- Battle Kid."
Ever wanted to play I Wanna Be The Guy without having to put up with I Wanna Be The Guy?
Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is a very difficult precision platformer for the NES, without the (humorous) unfairness of the more famous game. No nasty surprises -- what you see is what you get -- but what you get is already difficult enough! It's unquestionably a Metroidvania, just don't expect it to become easy in the last stretch.
