Cadash
Conan with a dash of Castlevania 2Genre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: Taito
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Stiff movement, like a Castlevania game. Once you jump there's no going back, again like Castlevania or Ghouls n Ghosts. Three attacks - B to thrust, up+B to attack with a wide arc that reaches upward, and jump+B for a downward thrust. Nice variety of attacks. Because of the stiff movement the focus is on avoiding damage. You can't just run in guns blazing. Or sword blazing, I guess. Light RPG elements. And when I say light, I mean VERY light. You gain experience as you kill the infinitely spawning enemies so be prepared to grind. Collect herbs and elixirs to restore health, lift curses, etc. Reminds me a bit of Castlevania 2 for NES. There's no save or passwords so you have to beat it in one go. Unless you're using save states, that is.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Pretty standard stuff. Visit a town, learn about their plight, and then venture into a level to destroy a boss. The levels themselves are also basic, but they do the job.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Generic Conan stuff
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Nothing special going on. The artwork is well-drawn with a bit of detail. But the graphics and character models are not special in any way. There's nothing distinct or interesting about the game's visuals.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Good but unremakable
Overall Score: 60
