There are 17 levels in this game, with only the first three playable in the shareware version. There are a great many items that aid Kyle in his journey, some of which are quite ingenious. Kyle can talk to slaves to get information or receive items, and problem solving and exploration are as common as fighting enemies.

For a platformer, there's less fighting and more strategy than usual. Kyle can't do some of those things when his gun is drawn, so he must also holster and unholster his gun. He can turn around, walk, run, leap across gaps, grab onto ledges, jump to a platform above, drop to a platform below, duck, somersault, and evade enemy fire by pressing against a wall. Shareware (partial game) Developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The hero, Kyle, has an unusually large repertoire of movements. What does that mean? It's like a science fiction version of Prince of Persia. Blackthorne is a "cinematic platformer" with fluid animation. Now an adult, Kyle must fulfill his destiny as the chosen one. Knowing that his kingdom was about to be destroyed by the evil Sarlac, King Vlaros sent his son Kyle to Earth as a child.
