An interesting arcade game, evoking associations with Prince of Persia or Flashback. We play the role of the title character, Blackthorne, who returns to his home planet after twenty years to serve the evil wizard with justice.
Venegance - sometimes it's the only answer!
I return to my world, this dark and rotting place, to cleanse it of the evil which nests in the heart of the land and to restore my family's rightful reign. Traveling through underground caverns and rain soaked forests, my blood boils at the sights I have beheld...renegade humans killing for food and shelter, goblin hordes marching across the land and mutant beasts enslaving my people through torture and starvation.
By the oath, this evil will end. Their violence shall be met with violence and the blood of my enemy will pool upon the earth. The destroyers of this world will be called to answer for their deeds... and they shall know the vengeance of Kyle Blackhawk.
# Hundreds of enemies, a maze of hidden passages and deadly force fields fill 17 action-packed levels.
# Blast your way through enemy territory with an arsenal of hi-tech weaponry.
# Digitized sound effects bring blood-ravaged battle scenes to an incredible new level.
# Defy death by dodging bullets, running, jumping and climbing your way through danger.
