With Dark Void Zero, Capcom once again shows that they can successfully mimic an old-school aesthetic in a brand-new title. Much like Mega Man 9, this DSiWare-only title features an all-around 8-bit style and delivers challenging, but largely satisfying platforming action.
A downloadable prequel to the console version of Dark Void, DV Zero stars Rusty, one of Nikola Tesla's rocket-pack warriors, and takes you through three spacious stages that have more in common with the post-16-bit Castlevania games than Super Mario Bros.. Each stage is dotted with special keycards and other items you must collect, as well as extra weapons that allow you to access new areas, leading up to a boss battle and, of course, the next stage.
