World CHAMPIONS: Decathlon Reviews

Literally a remake / de-make of 80s smash hit athletics games like Hyper Sports and specifically Daley Thompson's Decathlon, and done well. Look past the super-retro (even moreso than the aforementioned original games!) this is well-made and moreish. The mechanics feel the same as those original joystick-breaking wagglers too, you only need a left, right and shoot inputs although reading what the dev has to say it's actually a little cleverer than that under the bonnet, with smoothness as important as speed. So ten events you can play as a full decathlon or individually, alone, against bots or multiplay either local or via online matchmaking. Some events are easy and some are hard to find the right techniques and thanks to a unique progression and improvement system you will always be able to beat a high score, it just takes time and practice. All this wrapped up with online leaderboards as well as maintaining your own PBs for a private challenge. Real good, simple fun. I personally think its a little overpriced but on sale you should get plenty of nostalgic fun out of this
