Dominus (Beta) feels like someone dug up a lost Sega Genesis prototype—in a good way. The pixel art nails that early '90s vibe, all chunky sprites and bright colors, but with smoother controls than most games from that era. You start off with this little warrior dude (or dudette, I think you can pick) hacking through basic enemies, and within minutes you're juggling between sword slashes and magic spells that actually feel useful instead of just flashy.

What surprised me is how it doesn't just coast on nostalgia—the level design has these sneaky little shortcuts and hidden power-ups that make replays way more interesting than I expected. The music’s pure Genesis too, all crunchy basslines and chirpy synths. If you’ve got a soft spot for action platformers that don’t overcomplicate things, this one’s a solid time capsule with some modern polish.
