Psycho Chaser
Watch out Norman Bates, I'm coming for youGenre: shooter - vertical
Publisher: Naxat Soft
Year: 1990
System: PCE
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Slow movement but awesome weapon design. My only complaint is toggling between weapons is done via a carousel, so clicking once too many make you need to cycle all the way through the list again. Only two weapons are useful (fire and chaser) so it gets annoying to switch between them. Weapon powerups happen between stages and are permanent. No difficulty levels, but the game has a relatively low difficulty.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Boring design for the most part. Few stages have anything but enemy waves. Even the patterns of waves gets monotonous.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Walking robot shooters are cool. This one has a certain aura.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Awesome art design and enemy designs. Backgrounds aren't impressive but do the job. No effects.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Terrific music. Feels melancholy, like you're trying to avenge a broken world. Sound effects are too loud but have a nice, solid crunch to them.
Overall Score: 75
