Sofiya And The Ancient Clan – Review

Traditional platforming side-scrollers have helped make up the foundation of gaming with over 40 years’ worth of entertainment.

Back in the 90s when arcades around the world were still booming, there was a highly likely chance every arcade goer played one of Capcom’s many coin-operated machines scattered around not just in arcades, but also at shopping centres, cinemas, convenience stores, and more.
