Ravva 2 is an enjoyable little action platformer that overall plays well on PC that delivers on a lot of the Nintendo Entertainment System nostalgia while at the same time leaving you wanting a bit more.

The story is fairly simple, similar to the previous game and sets up the basic premise for the game with an intro and ending sequence, but nothing story-wise in between the levels.

The gameplay is fairly simple but is used creatively well. Essentially, move the character through the level, fight the boss at the end. Use your abilities to navigate through the level while trying to uncover secrets. Swap abilities abilities around quickly as you go and pick up unique powerups throughout the level. Its a simple concept but it is utilized well. The game has several themed stages each ending with a boss fight. Many of the bosses are similar in concept, but have unique attack patterns which are telegraphed fairly well. The game is short and sweet, not lasting too long, but with the price it is currently at, it fits well with the cost.

The level design is charming and mostly straightforward. Move from point A to point B. The design is varied somewhat between each level with secrets and relatively simple challenges to overcome. Boss fights are fairly straightforward with each boss having a unique pattern, but still relatively easy to figure out.

The sound design, like most of the game, is fairly simple but matches the theme of each level to an extent. Its enjoyable to listen through and didn't overstay its welcome.

Graphically the game follows the classic pixelated art style reminiscent of older games with a vibrant color pallet. Like all other elements of the game, there is an overall improvement in quality over the first game. Pixel sprites are often diverse to show off the theme of the level. Characters are easilly distinguishable with the bosses and main character taking the center stage for art and pixel design.

Overall, the game is short simple and sweet. It is an enjoyable time that harkens back to an older age of gaming. for the price tag I would say its well worth the purchase. The game does make you want more however and it is clear to see where more mechanics and variety could easily push the concept further. The ideas implemented in this game, while simple, are fairly unique at times and its clear to see that more can be done with them given time/money/etc. I am curious to see where the next installment goes, but for now, Ravva 2 is an excellent game well worth a casual play.
