Cadash for TurboGrafx-16
Review #7015
Cadash
Conan with a dash of Castlevania 2
Gameplay
Stiff movement, like a Castlevania game.
Once you jump there's no going back, again like Castlevania or Ghouls n Ghosts.
For characters to choose from, up from only 2 in the Genesis version.
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
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
Generic Conan stuff
Art Style
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.
Much more colorful than the Genesis version. Different but not necessarily better.
Audio
Hate to say it but the music is far worse than the Genesis version. Yuck
