Alphaman

A Megaman-inspired Kaizo that's visually smoother and more slippery (in terms of controls). Music is great, foes and stages are fair and distinct, but some platforms are very precise and the save checkpoints aren't well spread out. There isn't a tutorial for the player to learn how Alphaman controls, if you started the game blind and without reading the description, you wouldn't be remiss to know Alphaman can use his special ability without using his power, if you longpress the "x" button. You can also dash by holding shift. There's a handful of secret stages you can access if you're agile enough, earning yourself a variety of keys that each increase your special power capacity. Balance is a major issue though. The first filter point is fighting the first boss without any notable special ability, but as you beat the bosses you unlock an ability from them. The become significantly easier once you get the Maid's broom, but certain bosses go down easier if you use specific weapons such as the firebomb, the flamethrower, or the knives. At the end of the game, you're tasked with fighting all four of the bosses AGAIN, one after the other, with no checkpoint inbetween. After beating them you get a little XP, but not a whole lot. That means if you die, you have to start all over. It's a major "filter" point considering the enemies aren't any weaker in any way. This is a short (1-3 hours) game that's arguably worth the 5 bucks, for all the genuine and heartfelt effort put into it. The pain points are the trial and error, learning enemy patterns, and the very difficult back-to-back boss fight at the end. But even with these shortcomings, it's still a very aesthetic game.

Le estoy dando puntaje positivo pero en realidad deberia ser Mixed. El juego es solo decente, mediocre diria. El juego es super corto, te lo pasas facilmente en una hora o menos, yo tengo el tiempo de juego que tengo (que igual es poquisimo) porque me fui a comer en el medio de un stage. Tienes solo 4 robot masters con stages super cortos, y 4 stages finales tambien cortitos y ninguno muy interesante o memorable. Graficamente se ve peor que los Mega Man de NES y la musica es olvidable. Igual safa. Tiene dos cosas interesantes, una es que tiene el dash de los MMX, y en vez de tener un disparo cargado para disparar el buster gigante carga para disparar el arma alterna sin gastar weapon energy. Interesantes ideas, pero lo corto y simple de los niveles realmente no hace que sean aprovechados al maximo. Nunca sufri de falta de energia para depender drl charge shot y el dash se limita a ser necesario para algunos dash jumps y poco mas. Con un poco de pulido y mas contenido pudo haber sido muy bueno, ya que lo que hay aqui aunque no sea la gran cosa es solido. Tambien tiene dos endings dandole """rejugabilidad""", pero no estaba lo suficientemente interesado para sacar el otro ending. Le dejo positivo porque al final me entretuve un rato y solo me costo 10 pesos. Deberias comprarlo? Ehhhh... hay muchos clones de Mega Man ahi afuera, la verdad no te pierdes de nada si no juegas este. Si estas muy hambriento por mas MM y ya jugaste todo lo que encontraste, tampoco es lo peor que podrias jugar, y el precio es super bajo en oferta (al menos en arg) que se podria decir que valio los 10 pesos.
