Balacera Brothers

Ein Run 'N' Gun Spiel mit sehr viel Charme. Denn es ist farbenfroh, hat einen ska-lastigen Soundtrack und alles hat so eine gute-Laune-Stimmung. Spielt sich super und der Wiederspielwert, ist aufgrund der Kürze auch groß.

Balacera Brothers is a steam videogame featuring a nasty backlash informants in a phase of traveling sections in slime covered levels...somewhat a smart bristling game with cropped creative boss battles in a discreet search smuggled to the top distinction of love i give this game a 10/10 a umbrella stick of sharpening stones of chaos blistering action rowdy in a bundle of bones love the burrito master!!!

Бл,,, дожили теперь еще и мугеновые изделия в стим пихают....Я не против этого,но сей факт меня сильно удивил, А вот игра не особо,хотя я звезд не ждал,от нее,,тупо ДИЧЬ для стрима. тем не мене нормас

I was drawn to this game by how specific the setting of the first level is. While all other levels feature generic and bland backgrounds, the opening is in Basel, Switzerland, even riding on one of its trams and confronting the Basilisk the city uses as its symbol as a boss. I guess the developer hails from there? The pixel art of the player characters and their animations are really notable, as are the designs of a few bosses, complete with funny faces as they are defeated. If the game didn't make that so visible when launched, I wouldn't have guessed this was made with OpenBOR, an engine originally created for side-scrolling fighting games. Any creativity is, however, apparently exhausted after the first boss, and what is left is a very short and bland [b]Contra[/b] clone whose only appreciable feature is a command to shoot while standing still in place (and that, too, isn't really new in the genre). The final boss is very lame, so much that it should have rather been swapped with the penultimate one, which is spoiled by both the trailer and screenshots. Sometimes I've been killed by "posthumous" attacks of the bosses, following the moment of defeat, with no ability to prevent that. The nice sprites stand out over graphics that are otherwise even amateurish (see, for example, the trees and the tram during the first boss fight). At the very least, I can appreciate that with their first stab at a commercial release (they are mainly known for a Ninja Turtles fangame), the dev decided to go with a small project, using an engine they were familiar with, rather than try something too big and ambitious. Going to check if the following attempt is better.

Um ótimo run 'n gun! Com uma dificuldade bastante elevada, porém não impossível, Muito nostálgico, com gráficos mais do que lindos, A gameplayé extremamente simples, podendo correr, pular, atirar, trocar de arma e mirar, porém extremamente funcional, os power-ups são ótimos, muito bem pensados e alguns vindo diretamente de contra, Os personagens tem animações fantásticas e são responsivos, embora sejam um tanto o quanto lentos, eles não tem diferenças além sprites, o que não é ruim, considerando que os 2 jogadores podem usar personagens diferentes sem se prejudicar por isso, Os chefes são criativos, porém acho que a curva de dificuldade entre eles é gigante, como a diferença entre o primeiro não sendo tão grande, mas quando chega ao terceiro aí claramente perceptível, O Merso fez um trabalho fantástico, principalmente considerando que foi usado o OpenBOR, uma engine, não muito qualificada para o gênero do game, e essencialmente simples demais para um jogo tão perfeito, Creio que os únicos defeitos sejam a gameplay um tanto lenta, o que não atrapalha a experiência, a curta duração do game, que possui poucas fases, a falta de extras (como artes conceituais, modo sobrevivência, um menu aprofundando os personagens, etc) e o menu pouco atrativo e nem tão funcional. Nota artística: 10/10 Trabalho fenomenal, lindo, extremamente divertido Nota crítica: 5/10 O jogo tem muito pouco conteúdo, é levemente lento e com menus não muito funcionais Minha nota final: 8/10

Good Contra-like action.

Solid Contra-like game!
