Is Wardner still worth playing in 2026?

A port of Toaplan's arcade game, Wardner has you play a young hero throwing fireballs to save his beloved across platform levels peopled with magical creatures. The shooting, the precise jumps and the fairy-tale mood keep a retro arcade charm, in the line of the era's action platformers. The difficulty stays tough and the presentation modest. A curiosity for fans of retro arcade action-platforming and lovers of lesser-known Toaplan productions.
