The Final Specimen Rocks!! Started playing when it first came out. Then proceeded to the "Horse" Mode. Psycho chickens n S*#t, as well as some crazy cut scenes, lol. One of the most fun games I have played in many moons! At first was expecting a whacky adventure, and got one! A bit sneaky and tricky in parts. Love the sound track!!
This game summed up in one word would be NOSTALGIA. Just pure nostalgia from the moment you boot it up. If you have a love for the feeling of the old super nintendo 2D platformers this game is for you. From the music and story line, or the feeling of the boss battles it holds true to a classic game. I personally loved playing this game front to back and look forward to the next piece in the story. The final specimen is exactly that. the last 2d platformer you need to bring back your childhood chills of fighting to the end. Do yourself a favor and pick it up today and let the memories rain them self in.
I'm not much of a gamer but it did hearken me back to the days of 90's PC games, not only that but it had a certain Rick & Morty, meets Mario Bros in Pitfall land vibe that was pretty fun! I'd recommend to 90's PC junkies and old time gaming system users like myself who enjoy having to figure out entertaining levels. Love the music!
This game is a perfect dose of nostalgia, hilarity, and challenge! While it may be a colorful throwback style play, it's difficult and brings about some interesting enemies to defeat. The artistry is top notch and very well done, can definitely tell that the artist put a lot of work into the design of the game. I recommend!
The Final Specimen: Arrival is a good time. The levels are dynamic and diverse enough to keep you entertained, and the level bosses are ridiculous enough to laugh the first time you see them. The levels are challenging enough to motivate you to see one to the end if you get stuck. It definetly has a 90's throwback feel to it and the controls are what you would expect from an action platformer. I would say if you have a couple bucks to spare and a few hours to kill then go for it.
The game itself is pretty straight forward. I'd say it is the perfect game for the young audience as it has cheesy humor, visually and audiowise. Voice acting is where the game got it's best feature. I've ran agaisnt a bug in level 6 where i had to restart the game, otherwise i just kept dying. It's missing out some visual pointers when it comes to bossfights and danger overall, since most of the times i've died it was because i had no idea of what was going on.
90s kids will love this game! The Final Specimen: Arrival was a lot of fun to play. The music, animation, and level design all feel familiar, so the nostalgic platformer Gigantoraptor was going for is spot on. If you're looking for a quick game with good pacing and some silly moments that refelct the era it was modeled after, this is the game for you.
Brilliant dose of nostalgia mixed with fantastic humor. This game is what would happen if Sonic the Hedgehog and an adult swim cartoon had a child. The sound effects and death sequences made me laugh everytime.
Some highlights of the game are its challenging 2D landscape, it's bright, engaging color schematics, the comical and whimsical storyline, and the broad unique extent of each individual level. One downside is the lack of a "sidekick" for the protagonist, i.e. Sonic and Tails, Donkey and Diddy Kong Overall, certainly worth playing and sharing this game with others.
This game is a blast to spend some time on, level after level brings new and unique challenges. The soundtrack is on-par with any mainstream game, someone took the time to really match the track with game play - well worth their time. It has the perfect blend of humor and challenge in each level that keeps you playing to the next, really recommend replaying in the hard difficulty for those with the time.
