However, they will not be easy to obtain thanks to the insane difficulty level. There are 8 trophies to unlock (2 Gold, 3 Silver and 3 Bronze) which is a good mix for the game. All things considered, there are over 20 characters to unlock. Nathan Drake from Uncharted was represented with the ability to hold on to edges, Arthur from Ghosts and Goblins was the one who could take one extra hit, but lose his armor and be in his underwear after it, and there’s a take on Simon Belmont, included with his whip. There are also several character types available based on other video game characters that have special abilities. The game has an interesting mode where you have to hold on to a coin pot and the longer you hold it, the more coins you get. This is great when you have friends over for couch co-op, but it would have been great to play with friends over the PSN. The multiplayer is local only, so no online modes. The music uses the old 8-bit style Chip tunes, and even though there are only a few songs in the game, each one is distinct and really help you push through the game. The different temples each have an individual look, and the character models look really good as well. Dring the NES days when games were very hard but they were broken in some ways as well (looking at you, Battletoads) however this game runs perfect, properly timing on all of the challenges and obstacles in the level. The graphics are 8-bit old-school to the bone, but running at a fast and solid frame rate. This is why there’s a level skip if you find you can’t beat the level, making it easy to come back later for another go. On top of this, you will also be aiming to collect golden skulls that are buried throughout the game since you can use them to unlock things, but they are harder to get thus pushing the challenge right to the top. The game requires expert memory and timing to make it to the goal. You will be making your way through the level and pause for a second to take a breather… and then you’re dead. Bet you didn’t see that one coming! This is an interesting way to play as it takes the unlimited lives paradigm that other games have set and turns it on its head.

While you play each level you should be aware that you’ll die a lot, but this will help you learn how to avoid the dangers in order to make it through in one piece. Each stage doesn’t look huge, but as you progress through it you start to see how dangerous it really is.Įach stage includes many hazards such as floor spikes, darts, fire, spinning blades… death is around every corner. This game takes the concept of unlimited lives to a new level. In the first set of levels, I used over 100 just trying to get through them. This is an old school 8-bit game, and you start the game with 1001 lives, which sounds like a lot, but really isn’t.

I had heard about how 1001 Spikes was said to be a death-a-thon, but I didn’t believe that it would be this hard until I actually played the game.
