Gary Hartley Writes: Nefarious explores what might happen if a video game villain got a bit of momentum behind him and got to see some of his evil plans actually come to fruition. Revived from the ashes of every 16-bit action platformer ever, Crow is a princess-capturing evil genius who manages his first triumph when the resident hero of Macro City decides he’s tired of dealing with bi-weekly kidnapping attempts and skulks off. Stolen princess in hand, Crow returns to his floating sky fortress, which is resplendent with an army of minions and a collection of war machines, desperate to keep his streak going. With only another four more princess' in tow, he’ll finally be able to power his Doom Howitzer. Then, all of those pesky governments would be forced to bow to his demands!
Darren writes: "There was a time when side-scrolling platform games were the dominant genre, and as a result their heroes were catapulted to worldwide fame. They all, however, had a similar formula; battle through various themed stages, fight bosses and collect valuables to eventually defeat your arch-nemesis. As time went by and gaming evolved, it became harder to stand out in this overcrowded space so developers focused their efforts elsewhere, for the most part. Nefarious makes sure to mix things up from the very start."
