Heavy Unit for PCE


Image: MobyGames

Heavy Unit

Heavy? Is that why your unit is so slow?


Genre: shooter - horizontal

Publisher: Taito

Year: 1989

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Terrible. Slow movement with no speed power ups. Your weapon is basically useless. Most enemies are invincible and those that aren't taken a million hits. Best to simply avoid everything. Barely any powerups but no matter what you only have a peashooter.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Levels are primarily a series of R-Type style environmental hazards. Don't position correctly and you're toast. Difficulty starts high and never relents.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Generic. No title screen. Forgettable


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Very simple, early artwork


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

The best part of the game. Sounds aren't great but the music is ok


Overall Score: 27

Review ID: 8062
