Brought to you by Piko Interactive and QUByte Interactive, Risky Woods – the modern port - is essentially a 2D Side-Scrolling Action Platformer that released July 13th, 2023 for Playstation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
For this review video, I played the Xbox One version on my Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility.

The original Risky Woods released in 1992, and this newest version is a port that allows you to either play in the classic arcade look (much like how many retro games of the time do), or a stretched screen to discard the arcade-looking sidebars.

You play as Rohan, a mighty adventurer who must battle skeletons and other types of enemies, navigate the treacherous perils in a dozen levels to save monks who have been frozen by an ominous villain, Draxos. There are keys you must gather to unlock gates to continue to progress through the levels, and time is not on your side – it runs out quickly, so keep an eye on it and don’t hang about.

There are power-ups to be found in magic chests – some will put you to sleep for a bit, others teleport you backwards in the level, making your journey more arduous, so use caution when it comes to which ones you pick up. There are additional power-ups you can find throughout the levels, such as fireballs and axes.

Disclosure: I received a free review copy of Risky Woods from the Publisher through Keymailer.co – thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
