From the review - Eryi's Action obviously sets out looking for its particular niche of players. It’s difficult to recommend to any casual gamers or people that aren’t looking for high amounts of challenge. However, if you’re extremely sadistic, or have a desire for wrecking your monitor or TV screen, this is quite possibly the game for you.

"Steam is the dominant force in PC-based digital game distribution and, despite this monopoly, maintains a high level of customer satisfaction. How? Simple, they provide copious discounts on a consistent basis. Every week they offer up their Weeklong Deals for gamers who simply need to buy more games. If you’re included in this bunch, then every week I’ll try to help you out with some suggestions of what might be worth a purchase and what should likely be avoided at all costs. Of course, all gamers have different tastes so you might still want to give the complete Steam Weeklong Deals list a look over."
Marcus of Pixel Pacas plays an incredibly difficult and cruel platformer by the name of Eryi's Action. Is it worth the stress it puts players through?
Eryi's Action, a Japanese platform game from doujin circle Xtal Sword and Western localizer-publisher Nyu Media, falls into the latter category.
Initially appearing to be a '90s style Japanese platformer with a predictably fluffy story about a fairy trying to recover her favorite watermelon from her nemesis Farta, Eryi's Action very quickly reveals itself to be something very different to what you might expect. And, once you get your head around what it's doing, it becomes a surprisingly addictive amount of fun.
