First of all, disregard Chowin's review, as it is obviously talking about a completely different game. The Krion Conquest is, to put it simply, a blatant Megaman rip-off.

Graphics: 7
The graphics are decent, but nothing special. The backgrounds and sprites, though, do definitely remind me of Megaman. Even the little witch that you control runs in exactly the same way that Megaman does. And the little springy enemies? I'm sure I saw those exact things in some Megaman game (MM3, I think).

Sound: 6
The music is pretty decent, but the sound effects can get king of annoying, especially the sound that you make when you land.

Gameplay: 6
Not bad, but Megaman is better. You get a few different weapons (although they're not much different from each other) that you shoot from your staff, plys this bizarre attack where you turn into a Phoenix and kill everything on the screen, taking away half of your health. The level layouts could be better, though.

Overall: 4
I would have given it a higher rating if not for it's total lack of originality. It's not a bad game, but, what's the point? It's the same as Megaman, except Megaman is much better.

Don't get me wrong, now. The Krion Conquest is a fun little game, but if you want to play a Megaman game, play a Megaman game and not an inferor rip-off.

It's a shame this game didn't get any more publicity then it deserved. Hopefully a nice 9 on the rate system will change that a bit. Seriously though this game is worth a 60 second download. You control a little Asian man out to destroy an evil master plan as he slashes, dashes, and runs through ancient hills of Asia with his dog. Along the way you collect coins in which you can buy better weapons and artifacts from a cute little Japanese girl that'll make you cream in your pants. Get it people!
