Graphics: 2 out of 10
Sound: 2.5 out of 10
Gameplay: 2 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7.5 out of 10
Overall: 2 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are very basic. The playing field just looks like it
came from the old days in Japan, but the graphics aren't impressive. The
only things I thought that looked even remotely neat was when you use a
special power and turn into a monster.
Sound: The sound is annoying. You'll definitely want to play some other
music if you attempt to play this game. Sound effects are uncommon on
top of all that.
Gameplay: In this game, you have a certain amount of money to buy four
mercenaries for your party. There are about six different mercenaries
that you can assign to your party, and the more you buy of one type the
more guys you have. After you buy them, you start the level in a very poor
designed shooter. Each time one of your guys gets hit, his life goes down
until he disappears. At the next level, you buy more people with the money
you acquired by defeating enemies on the last stage. This game has a lot of
problems, but the biggest one would have to be that the game is so slow.
Hardness factor: This game is really hard. The screen scrolls too slowly,
there are too many enemies, your characters shoot too slowly.The list
just goes on and on.
Overall: 2 out of 10. A pretty boring game. I don't know how long it took
them to make this game, but they probably should have doubled it.
