Reception

There’s no question this feels convincingly like an 8-bit-era release, for better or for worse depending on tastes

Trophy is a competent and enjoyable action-platformer that looks and feels like Mega Man, even if it falters in a few specific areas and doesn't quite live up to that comparison. The game does enough to make it worth recommending to fans of 8-bit classics of yore, provided you can look past some of its poor level design and cheap deaths. At the end...

If you like early Mega Man, here’s your Trophy

If you are a fan of 8-bit games, especially early Mega Man, I would highly recommend Trophy, as it’s an enjoyable trip down nostalgia lane.

If you are a fan of retro NES games with a challenge and a Mega Man type feel, this is going to be a title you won't want to miss. Minus a couple of boss design choices and a buggy achievement system, this is a quality title.
