Iconoclasts review – retro-futuristic binge-worthy brainteaser

PC, PlayStation 4; Joakim Sandberg/Konjak
Mega Drive graphics belie the brains behind this puzzle-filled 2D platformer in which you play a misfit mechanic dismantling a religious techno-dystopia

Just when you think you're sick of retro-inspired platform adventures, one comes along with such personality that you end up bingeing on it like a kid in front of Saturday morning cartoons. A seven-year labour of love by creator Joakim Sandberg, Iconoclasts wears its old-school inspirations proudly. Anyone who ever owned a Sega Mega Drive will instantly recognise its detailed pixel art and cartoonish vibe. It is nostalgic without being juvenile - Iconoclasts might look like it's straight out of the early 90s, but video games have come a long way since then.
