Martial Champion for PCE CD


Image: MobyGames

Martial Champion

Konami made a console fighting game? other than TMNT, of course


Genre: fighting - 1v1

Publisher: Konami

Year: 1993

System: PCE CD


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Passable, but entirely forgettable. Hard to perform special moves. Lots of difficulty settings. 10 playable characters.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Three modes: Tournament (story), VS (2p only), and Group Match (a very cool 5v5 battle royale that happens one fight at a time). I really like the Group Match mode.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Blatant Super Street Fighter 2 rip-off. You cna just about match up every fighter. The presentation makes up the difference as it's got a great arcade look and feel.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Disappointing visuals, with small sprites, minimal animation, and uninteresting backgrounds. The character designs are random, and not all that interesting.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Music is straight out of an 80s B action movie. It's rocking and fits the fighting genre. An English-speaking actor voices all of the introductions and menus. It's perfectly epic and arcadey.


Overall Score: 55

Review ID: 11068
