Gain Ground SX
Cross-pollination of Bomberman, Gauntlet, and Smash TVGenre: action - gun
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1992
System: PCE CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Crazy slow movement, but I don't mind it much because everything moves slowly. Plays a bit like a mix between Gauntlet and Smash TV. 5 or 6 characters to play as. Some can fire at enemies who are up on ledges. Most everything is a one hit kill.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Every level has 10 rounds. Probably a long ish game. Set up a lot like Bomberman. Enemies and layouts keep things interesting. In the original the levels were all single screen but here thet are all multiscreen, but only one screen wide. The objective is to defeat all enemies and/or to reach the exit.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Hack and slash setting. No story that I can tell. Just pick a fighter and go
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
NES quality graphics Only uses half of the screen Simple but works well
Audio Score: 5
Audio Notes:
Fantastic, CD quality music. Well orchestrated and fits the epic, fantasy setting. Like a mix between Conan and Contra. Nice sounds.
Overall Score: 70
