Tougiou King Colossus for MD


Image: MobyGames

Tougiou King Colossus

Illusion of Gaia rough draft


Genre: adventure - overhead

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1992

System: MD


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Blatant Zelda clone without an overworld. Slow movement, short reach, basic inventory and equipment mechanics. Does nothing well, but nothing bad either. Enemies hit like a truck, making death a constant threat. Unspectacular but I could see playing it to completion.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

A series of Zelda style dungeons with mechanics ripped from the original (keys, bombs) and LttP (drop down to a lower floor). Simplistic puzzles and some NPC interactions to set up fetch quests.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Full of tropes. Your abusive dad sends you on a series of quests which get into some heady topics like cults, human sacrifice, and abuse.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Everything's a dungeon so there isn't much variety. But the sprites are well drawn. This is probably generous but I liked it well enough.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Awesome tunes that unfortunately loop too quickly.


Overall Score: 62

Review ID: 6081
