** ''Legacy'' has the recurring character Gwendoline; a hulking, armored knight who you meet in many places only to have her retreat due to inconveniences with her huge armor; is probably a nod/parody to Creator/GwendolineChristie. Specifically her role as Captain Phasma in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' sequel trilogy. The joke being how despite their badass appearance and reputation they accomplish very little.

Most sprites had reduced colors due to NES palette limitations but backgrounds look nearly identical and the sound (originally created with Famitracker) is pretty much unchanged. The most significant change is in some area layouts (including boss battles) due to the original game being designed for a widescreen aspect ratio.

[[ExcusePlot That is about it]].
Using an 8-bit aesthetic, the game intentionally hearkens back to the days of NintendoHard action platformers, albeit with some modern conveniences to reduce the risk of destroyed controllers.
In 2020, Elden Pixels released a sequel titled Alwa's Legacy.
