Heavy Nova
Heavy, as in, barely movableGenre: fighting - 1v1
Publisher: Micronet
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 0
Gameplay Notes:
The most unresponsive controls ever. Turning around requires double tapping but it works maybe half the time. Hits register randomly, like maybe 25% of the time. Actually that's being generous. It's more like 10%. O idea how to pull off special moves.
Level Design Score: 0
Level Design Notes:
You traverse a very short 2-3 screen "level" with obstacles and enemies which only serve to demonstrate how horrible the controls are before having a 1v1 fight with another mech. So boring.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
The premise is fine and the opening cinematic got me excited. You're a mech being trained on an asteroid space station.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Huge sprites are well animated. However the mech designs are some of the least interesting robots I've seen this side of Rise of the Robots. Backgrounds are poorly drawn with boring repeating times of grey, brown, and purple.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Music is pulled straight from a 70s tv show. Sounds are chincy and whiny.
Overall Score: 9
Review ID: 968
