The makers of Italian action game have endured the longest development journey in history. Their game is now finally out – on the long-discontinued Game Boy Advance
The leak or whatever it is, appears to be fully featured though. There’s at least one gameplay video of someone beating all bosses (without getting hit) and reaching the ending. Presumably they smoothed out a few rough edges. In the rom I played, it would constantly drop weapons or spells that you can’t “use yet”. Implying that you will be able to after you level up.
So after a fellow lemming pointed me to the digital version. I threw 10 dollars away to find out… that it appears to be identical to the proto rom (and the gameplay footage).
Plausible more content was added or something, but the early gameplay is identical complete with the “you can’t use this yet”
So, the article appears to be a bit wrong in that… the game was finished ages ago… just no one wanted to invest the money to release it.
The rom I’m seeing is tagged “proto” and is presumably a leak.
I wonder how the final release compares.
I’d like to know as well.
