Risky Woods is an action-platformer that was first released on the Commodore Amiga in 1992.
+ Has similarities to Ghosts 'n' Goblins (1985, Arcade), but with more depth to its gameplay mechanics and objectives.+ Nice upgrade possibilities for your weapons and armour that can make the harsh difficulty more manageable.
- Level design is incredibly poor and lacking in imagination, as many sections repeat in what looks like copy/paste jobs.
- Despite enemies attacking from all sides you can only throw projectiles horizontally, so you can’t adequately defend yourself.
- Relentless enemy respawning can annoy, particularly when you’ve started what appears to be an unchallenged gap jump.
- Instead of walking over items to collect them you need to crouch, leaving you open to damage while the animation finishes.
- Some items / statues will either help or punish you, but there's no way to know before interacting with them.
