  You'll need the patience of a saint to break this curse, but if you've got the skills then Curses 'N Chaos can be a very rewarding game. Strong design and a surprising amount of depth offset some minor niggles, and thus with a low price tag, this is well worth bashing your gaming skills against.

  Don't let the difficulty scare you. Curses N Chaos is a fantastic game that takes pride in kicking the crap out of you, hoping that you'll come back for seconds. No matter how many times you will fail, you'll tell yourself "one more run".

  Curses 'N Chaos is an example of game purity. One screen, simple controls, and intense difficulty. There isn't much replayability outside of playing with new friends or going for a new high score, but just getting through all of the stages the first time will not be quick. For players who fancy a challenge, either solo or with a friend, Curses 'N Chaos is not one to miss.

  It’s something we’ve enjoyed doing ever since we popped in titles like Streets of Rage. Even recent titles like Double Dragon Neon show that this genre still holds up, and while I hadn’t experienced any of the online functionality, I’m hoping that having a second pair of hands to fight could make some of the game a little less frustrating to deal with.

  It's a pleasant surprise to come across a game that aims to do something and pulls it off so confidently, as Curses 'N Chaos does in this case. It will not be for everyone; despite its considerable challenge, it's still a short game by today's standards, with little replay value.

  Curses 'N Chaos will appeal only to a very small niche market. Enjoying it requires an intact nostalgia bubble and a friend to play with, and even then, there are better options out there. Tribute Games have admirably captured the immediacy and charm of retro gaming, but they've also revived its unfair and ill-conceived design techniques, many of which died out for good reason.
