zu wenig Speicherpunkte, warum kein freies Speichern? kein Autofeuer. zu schwierig an einigen Stellen.
This is a beat 'em up with half-baked platforming elements. There is no jump-attack (insane).
Jogo Bugou no final stage, me impedindo de finalizar o game! kkkkkkk nem que esteja por 50 centavos esse jogo vale a pena
Здесь нет кнопки нейтрального отзыва, увы. Эта игра валялась у меня с 2014 года, и только сегодня я решил в нее поиграть, и пройти. На самом деле ничем не примечательная околоаркадная поделка. Что здесь присутствует? - Какой то сюжет, для галочки больше, подается в виде текста, и двумя катсценами в игре. - Режим истории с очень линейными и простыми уровнями, в которых просто идешь сломя голову и крушишь все на своем пути - Типо карта мира с мейн квестом и сайд квестами на всякое оружие и предметы. - Можно апать уровень и улучшать оружие у торгаша, который появляется раз в тысячу лет на каком нибудь уровне. Это даже не достоинства, а то, что тут есть просто. Что не понравилось. - Встречал на уровнях невидимые стены 0_0 - Совершенно дебильные прыжки, а в некоторых местах прыгать от стены приходится через задницу, при этом на другойц платформе нас ожидает какая нибудь падла, нечестно. - Сама игра не сложная, средняя, но вот в ней есть просто пара моментов, которые не то, что бы сложные, а нечестные и просто бесят. Вроде тех же прыжков от стены, просто прыжков, или вообще каких то таких подленьких, раздриажающих моментов. - Угрюмые и скучные боссы совершенно, со скучными паттернами. - Дропнул игру на последнем уровне, на последнем боссе, в секции когда платформа поднимается вверх, и там появляются две платформы поменьше, так вот, нужно расчитать прыжок попиксельно, что бы зацепиться за верхнюю платформу, это раздражает просто. Это даже не хардкор, и не сложность с перекатами, блоком и парированиями как в каком нибудь дарксоулсе, это просто нечестный элемент игры. В то время, как последний босс это вообще груша для битья. *Досмотрел концовку на ютубе Всё чем может взять игра, это своей динамикой, и не более того. Если нужно что то на вечер, то по огромной скидке в 90% можно взять, понастольгировать по игровым аркадным автоматам, но не больше того. Игра средняя, очень средняя, иногда местами создается впечатление, что сделана спустя рукава
bad game.
Basically, it's an arcade game. It even has an "arcade mode." Yes, some more complex RPG type elements have been added. But if you have played "Black Tiger" or Rastan you sort of get the idea. The story... something to do with a knight and a less than awesome new king and a village and a wife and a demon. Alas, these devs have NOT learned that not everyone can read at THEIR speed so, as my vision is starting to fail and it is hard for me to read scrolling text already, I have little idea what the plot is. I started skipping it fairly early on. All things considered, it does not really seem to make any difference. If allowed I would give this a neutral review. Wait for a sale. I do not think I would have put 24 quarters into this back in "the day." So, you will have to take my failure to recommend this as more of a "meh." It has some good points. But there are to many fails for a recommend from someone as critical as I tend to be. Sorry devs.
Is a good attempt in the "difficult" 80's 2D scrollers genre, sadly the horrendous controls made me unistall this game years ago....I may pick it up once again. Don't recommended at all.
not bad, mostly linear, but was enjoyable.

Avanzar. Seguir avanzando. Y no dejar de machacar el botón porque los malos aparecen por generación espontanea. No me deja reconfigurar los botones. Y visualmente no me gusta nada.
