Shiryou Sensen - War of the Dead
Zombie Zelda 2Genre: adventure - platform
Publisher: Victor
Year: 1989
System: PCE
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Plays exactly like Zelda 2. Walk between areas on an overhead view and enter random encounters which are side scroller battles. Your only weapon is a knife which can be held out in front of you by holding down on the button. Jump is the other button and no other gameplay mechanics exist, so far as I can tell. Enemies follow strict movement patterns and love to get inside your sprite to stun lock you. So the strat is to hit them, back off, and repeat. There are RPG elements with EXP.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Like its inspiration the overworld is overwhelming. There's no obvious direction to go or objectives to complete. I wandered for a while and never discovered anything meaningful. I think there's a game here but I don't know what I'm doing.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
Post apocalyptic world filled with zombies and monsters. The world feels empty
