Blackthorne is basically a scrolling platformer, but if you play it for a bit you'll realise that its a bit more involved and you have to solve puzzles. You play the role of an escaped slave or has managed to find a shotgun, you have to carefully guide him through each mission to ultimately free his people of slavery. Your character has many moves and he is kind of like a 2D Lara Croft. You cannot save during the level but you get a code at the end, this is how you tell its a console port.
