Dragon Blazers

[b][i]A retro-style beat 'em up-platformer for 1-2 players. Help three heroes with martial arts skills defeat an army of cyber-ninjas.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/QSwQbHAvm8k You can play solo or with a friend in local co-op (shared screen, no split-screen; online is currently not supported). Controllers are preferred, but two players can play using a single keyboard. You choose a hero and begin your run. The hero can run, jump, cling to platforms and ropes. The character has no weapons, but they can punch and kick enemies and perform various combos (use secret techniques). The game is challenging, with few checkpoints. If you lose all your lives, you start over from the beginning. + Cute, pixelated graphics. + Excellent music and sounds. + 3 characters. + 3 difficulty levels. + Single player mode. + Local co-op for two. + Challenge mode. + Cool bosses. + Achievements.

I like that it has a bit of a Dragon Ball influence, but that’s where the positives end. The problems start as soon as you play. Some sprites look decent, but others feel rushed and out of proportion. There’s no story—none that I noticed—and I couldn’t play for long because it was so bad. Attacks don’t have much range, forcing you to get close, but touching enemies damages you, making it feel like you’re punished for using your only attack. There are no long-range options like fireballs or weapons, and all characters are identical with no differences in speed, power, or moves. I saw no power-ups, and only made it to level 2 before quitting out of frustration from constantly getting hit. A block feature might help, but it wouldn’t save it. It tries to be both a beat ’em up and a platformer, which could work—just look at Dragon Ball on Game Boy Advance—but this fails completely. Instead of combining two good ideas into something great, it’s more like mixing ♥♥♥♥ and piss. Even co-op mode is frustrating; When one player moves ahead it pushes the other player forward potentially damaging you. I’ve bought several of this developer’s games, and they’re usually mediocre at best. They seem too stubborn to take feedback, so I’d recommend avoiding their games altogether. Buy at your own risk. P.S. Most of the moves feel pointless due to redundancy—you really only need one strike, like in TMNT 3 on NES. You’ve got a whole combo for no reason, which seems like a waste. Imagine playing Final Fight and just making contact with an enemy’s sprite causes damage, plus you can only take four or five hits before dying. In co-op, you can’t press start to rejoin, and it would be fine if you came back after your partner reached a checkpoint, but you don’t. On hard mode, enemies spawn strangely out of bushes with no clear indication—if they do, I never noticed because there’s so much clutter on the screen. Then there’s this lame dog collar enemy constantly attacking, like every two seconds, similar to the annoying Mario enemy, Lakitu. You instinctively avoid it because of the spikes—everyone knows spikes are bad in games—so why would you even think to hit it? You have to awkwardly jump over it, though you *can* hit it if you’re lucky, given the terrible attack range. If it had a Ghosts ’n Goblins-style weapon system, it might have worked, but no—the game sucks. Don’t expect major updates; the team comes off as very arrogant.

https://youtu.be/O5tyAAdu3Bg Dragon Blazers me lembrou bastante o jogo do Jackie Chan do NES Tanto no estilo de pixel art como na alta dificuldade O jogo é bem época do NES e eu gosto de desafios mas o problema desse jogo é seu hitbox estranho, as vezes vc da uma voadora e fica invencivel as vezes não e toma dano do inimigo, as vezes você fica petecando no chefe e mata sem nenhuma dificuldade as vezes vc toma dano é bem difícil saber se seu golpe vai matar o inimigo ou você vai tomar uma porrada grátis, seu alcance é hyper limitado já que você só da soco e chute então várias vezes eu dei a voadora e mesmo assim tomei dano do inimigo Isso não seria um problema se os checkpoints fossem abundantes ou o jogo fosse generoso com life mas outra coisa que é esquisita, as vezes o checkpoint tão super próximos, as vezes é um mega role e se você morre volta tudo, as vezes qualquer bicho fraco que você mata cai maça o que facilita mas tem horas que você mata um monte e não vem nada Ele é um jogo pra quem curte desafio e jogo do NES se você quer os recursos que facilitam esse jogo não vai ter, o modo fácil dele é só mais vida e te garanto você vai precisar de vida pq direto você morre por besteira Os chefes são legais a música é legal e a arte que lembra o Akira Toriyama combina demais com o estilo de jogo, só tenha em mente que é aquele tipo de jogo pra quem gosta de dificuldade alta Morreu não tem continue, se quiser sair do jogo começa do zero, pq não tem save, eu mesmo parei na quinta fase e se quiser voltar é do zero O jogo nem é longo é curtinho bem jogo arcade, mas algumas qualidades de vida dos jogos atuais senti falta, como selecionar da onde parou, um save state ou forma de facilitar pra um jogador mais casual

Game so old school I thought I had a test tomorrow.

Waited until I cleared classic-hard before leaving a review. Really enjoyed my time with this game, it feels like a mix of old games I played. The game felt like Jackie Chan action kung fu to me. The punches and kicks, the dash combo moves, all very fun, and I very much liked the shouts the characters make when they use their super move. The bosses felt really hard at first, but after trying it a bit, it quickly got better, and they all felt fair. Mission 5 had a really good music, and it's good that I liked it because it was the hardest stage for me. I can recommend this game to anyone who likes action games with an old feel to it. I will be working on beating hack mode now, and it is nice and hard, it's the hard mode Ninja Gaiden Ragebound should have been. Everything new and harder. And some quick cons, The Dragon ball Z influence is a bit too on the nose and I wish there was more to unlock.

Le jeu est trop fun! Un poil frustrant comme on aime! Je recommande, merci encore Sylph!

I loved "Garlic" from the same developer and love this one even more ! The game can be quite difficult at first, but once you understand the mechanics, it become very fun. I'm curently fighting the boss of the 5th world, and I'm going to DESTROY IT.

Joguinho divertido, boa jogabilidade, curto mas divertido.

THEY'RE MINING THE SACRED CAVE ! KUMAOH IS FURIOUS !!
