We enter the story as the big bad guy Lord Brevan and his alien army invade the planet in search of the Kingdom Stone, an ancient hunk of rock that contains unlimited energy. If you do opt for the Adventure, I’m glad to say that the plot succeeds much more often than it fails. What this choice really boils down to is whether or not you think the story is one worth exploring, or if you’d rather just experience the gameplay alone. Adventure mode contains cut scenes that tell the narrative between levels, while Classic mode is more of an homage to the olden days, where the player blasts through levels without much in terms of a story other than what they can glean from the animated sprites and backgrounds.

At the start screen, players are allowed to select between two different modes: Adventure and Classic.
