The Good
- Excellent hand-painted backgrounds

The Bad
- Constant backtracking
- cumbersome inventory management
- a couple of jumping sections can be stupidly precise

Our Verdict
Decent
A qualified success; the positive aspects still outnumber the negative, but the weaknesses noticeably hinder the experience.
This kind of side-scrolling adventure is an acquired taste certainly, and the gameplay can become tedious at times, but Clover is a welcome nostalgic throwback to its retro roots.
