Image didn't post. Weird. Clash at Demonhead.

Clash at Demonhead is a bit sloppy for a platformer, which is usually not a good sign. If you can get past that and grinding for money for items, the game can be some fun. Semi-open worldish, the game doesn't force you down a single hallway, but you are limited in some options until you get the right item or beat a certain boss. Once you finally get enough cash and items going the sailing gets smoother since the jetpack suit makes the sloppy platforming irrelevant.

The biggest downside to the game is the bosses. Not really all that interesting or challenging as long as you walk into the fight equipped. The very end part is also stupid. Not much of a payoff after all the effort.

Still, not the worst platformer on the NES by a long shot. Probably the best NES game by Vic Tokai as well, given that the other games they made around that era were the Golgo 13 games. Try it, but don't get your hopes too high.
