It's better than Achilles in some regards, but even Achilles only had about 3 enemies on screen on the hardest levels. This game repeatedly throws a new bad guy at you every 3 seconds, even if you're trying to finish off the other ones as fast as possible and you still get overrun. Sorry, but it's not fun to have 6 guys attacking you and getting 1 blow in before losing another life. And the hired henchmen walk off the left side of the screen to go get killed by a new enemy so you either let them die or walk back half your progress on the level to save them. I liked Achilles' "Enemies Left" system better, where it was based on how careful you were, not how lucky.
