Our take on The battle for Christmas
Instead of presenting a long platforming journey, the game compresses its Santa rescue premise into 50 short stages and a roughly one-hour campaign. Its holiday framing and deliberately modest scope depart from the expectation of a large seasonal adventure.
What is The battle for Christmas?

The vendor also identifies four enemy types and says the game can be completed in about one hour. It includes 100 achievements.
