Daimakaimura for PCE SG


Image: MobyGames

Daimakaimura

The one where you can shoot up


Genre: action - gun

Publisher: NEC

Year: 1990

System: PCE SG


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Stiff controls which are the hallmark of this series. You can shoot upward. Yay


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Design is simple but there are still lots of memorable moments and set pieces. The enemy placement feels extremely cheap here, even more so than in other G&G games. Still good but requires memorization more than reaction.


Theme Score: 5

Theme Notes:


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Black background. Love the enemy designs but poor animation and effects take away from the experience. I know it's a product of its time but Super G&G released only a couple of years later and looks lightyears ahead of this title. This might be a hot take but I think this looks better than the Genesis version. The colors pop and sprites are larger and animate better. Check that, I think the sprites are smaller (expect the pigs which are much larger) but feature better detail.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Music and sound effects are much better than the Genesis version. Gone are the harsh metallic sounds and the slow pace of the music.


Overall Score: 69

Review ID: 9903
