The Legend of Prince Valiant is an action game that was re-released in the U.S. in 2019 by Piko Interactive LLC.
+ Nice amount of variety in its level design, ranging from Pitfall! (1982, Atari 2600) style areas, to first-person action stages.+ Story arch prior to each level sets the scene for your upcoming adventure and gets you invested in the objective.
- Too many occasions where taking damage seems more like a formality rather than something to avoid via skillful play.
- Cave levels are infuriating due to the lack of evenly-spread items, leaving you constantly running out of time / energy.
- Stingy timer is a huge pinch-point, as it discourages you from exploring the humongous caves in favour of rushing.
- Whilst the first-person stages have potential, they outstay their welcome by repeating the same gameplay for too long.
- Button commands don't always register, particularly when you've just landed from a jump and wish to do so again.
