Jinmu Denshou for PCE


Image: MobyGames

Jinmu Denshou

Ground Harrier


Genre: shooter - corridor

Publisher: Big Club

Year: 1989

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Space Harrier without a gun. Instead you've got a sword that's nearly useless. Every hit you put on an enemy hurts you so the only strategy is to avoid enemies like you're playing Top Gun for NES. You can jump but not fly and the jump is too short to be useful.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Try as I might I couldn't beat the first stage. It was empty besides wave after wave of enemies with an impossible boss fight to cap it off.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Kabuki Quantum Fighter vibes


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Nice scrolling and sprite scaling. Some slowdown but overall a visually impressive title for its time.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

The best aspect of this title. Music is exciting and sounds are simple but effective.


Overall Score: 30

Review ID: 8069
