Lionheart was a game for the Commodore Amiga back in 1992. It was developed by Thalion and some dedicated folks have decided to create a remake of this side-scrolling jump and run game.
The game did push the limits of the Amiga computers a bit further and was one of the best looking titles for the Amiga back in the days.
I remember that I found the controls a bit awkward and clumsy which could probably be attributed to the fact that most processing power went right into graphics and effects.
The remake of Lionheart is well done and can be played on most Windows computers. The interface is English / French and it is possible to set the controls for the game in the Options. There are not a lot of them though. Up, Down, Left, Right, Jump and Attack that’s it.
There is some attack variety because pressing the attack button alone does nothing. An attack needs a direction before the character moves his only weapon, a sword, into that direction.
Music and sounds effects are very nice as well and absolutely Amiga like. I still love those !
