Cute little Cherubims have never been so bad-ass

User Rating: 8.9 | Kid Icarus NES
A true Classic NES game that all ages can enjoy playing, and a great story that was unique to it time.

The game is about a Cherubim royal guard named Pit, who, among other cherubims must protect their queen, but she and all the cherubims are captured by Medusa. Pit is the only one who manages to escape from Medusa’s goblins and he takes it upon himself to fix everything. The game features four worlds and three types of levels for each world. Each world id divided into section and each features a side-scrolling level, vertical-scrolling level, and a dungeon where you wander form one room to another to get to the Boss. In the game you are armed with only a bow and arrow but you can purchase upgrades to your armor and weapons. Each level you must reach the while gathering hearts, which are used to purchase upgrades, and hammers that are used to free cherubims in dungeons. Each dungeon has several rooms that you have to wander through to reach the boss to get one of the three Legendary Weapons which you need to battle Medusa in the final world.

This is truly a great classic and anyone who enjoys old-school needs to play this game. This game was difficult and I am personally looking forward to seeing Pit in the new Smash Bros. Game, also I am hoping that they will bring back the Eggplants as well.
