Defunct Games reviews Oniken by JoyMasher and published by Digerati, available February 8 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch.

Both as a side-scrolling action game and a love letter to the 8-bit classics we grew up with, Oniken is a smashing success. This is a punishingly difficult throwback with a killer story, non-stop action, incredible cinemas, massive boss fights and a whole bunch of awesome unlockables. And while some may be turned off by the challenge, I found the experience to be both fair and satisfying. Oniken is a retro remake done right.
