There's no doubt that "Helena The 3rd" borrows heavily from the NES classic "Master Blaster", but how does it fare?
IGM writes: "Having grown up during the Nintendo 64 era, platformers of the 2D variety by and large escaped my purview until I got over my Halo craze. Having escaped the grasp of the shooter for a while, it’s rather shocking to see a genre I’m familiar with (FPS), merged with a genre that I’ve only recently begun to appreciate (2D platforming). That being said, the intermittent shifts of perspective are the only unique thing about Helena the 3rd."
The PC/Linux homage to the classic NES title Master Blaster has gone on sale in a "Pay What You Want" format, giving gamers who have yet to taste the feel of the classic 8-bit style the opportunity to do so for pocket change.
