I can't believe it's not battle: Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II | NES Works 170

Kuros is back, and he's looking absolute Fab in this sequel to Wizards & Warriors. Although it was not designed by Rare (despite the title screen's suggestion to the contrary), Ironsword presents an absolutely faithful follow-up to the very first game a non-Japanese third party publisher on NES commissioned from a non-Japanese studio. If that makes sense. However, does an experience that made for a pretty rollicking good time in December 1987 still sing two years later, given how quickly the NES library has matured and how noticeably the bar for quality has risen? Hmm. Please support this documentation project through Patreon (www.patreon.com/gamespite) or by picking up some of the related books (www.limitedrungames.com/collections/books). AND you can preorder Metroidvania: The First Decade from a fine book chain or comic shop, such as B&N (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-history-of-metroidvania-jeremy-parish/1148489848 ). Thanks!
