Tenchi wo Kurau
Genre: action - beat em up
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1994
System: PCE CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Has a Mega Man X style charge shot and a 3x combo attack. The strat is to consistently move up and down to avoid enemy attacks. Once I figured this out the game became super easy. The 1 and 2 buttons attack left or right like Double Dragon 2.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Enemy waves have just enough variety to keep your interest. But the set.poeces are what gives the game personally and a degree of fun. Every now and then there's an autoscroller section with barriers that will kill you.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Medieval Chinese warfare. I love the novelty of the setting along with the gratuitous violence of the after level cutscenes.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Tiny sprites and well conceived but simple stage backgrounds to create an almost 8 bit look. Certainly a massive step down from the arcade original. The screen is heavily letterboxed.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Lovely Chinese music is overshadowed by some of the most annoying sounds you could imagine. Loud screams and grunts constantly pour out of your character and enemies.
Overall Score: 62
