  Despite being in development for eight or more years, Dragon Marked for Death could have actually used more time in the oven. I'm sure there is a great game buried somewhere in there but between its lack of balance, less-than-ideal controls, boring levels, and unfortunate co-op requirements, the end product isn't nearly up to the level of the rest of Inti Creates's catalog.

  Despite these grievances, I did enjoy my time with Dragon Marked for Death. It’s a fun and frantic throwback to the side-scrolling RPGs of the 32-bit era. However, I don’t think the game is for everyone. Those who are looking for a purely solo excursion are probably going to find themselves growing weary by the journey’s end due to its balancing quirks that make boss battles marathon events. Likewise, the lack of single-console co-op is a serious disappointment. Still, if you’re looking for a spiritual successor to Mega Man Zero and have some friends who’re willing to take the fight online, you’ll find the game delivers an experience unlike anything else on the Switch.
