Hellfire

The face of mediocrity


Genre: shooter - horizontal

Publisher: Seismic

Year: 1990

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

SNES levels of slowdown Four main weapons (up/down, back, forward, and X) can be cycled through at will. Collect up to 3 speed boosts. Movement is painfully slow by default. One hit death with checkpoints. R-Type wannabe Enormous sprite makes it hard to avoid taking damage


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Long stretches of nothing on screen. Slow and mostly boring.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

As generic as could be


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Huge chunky and rounded sprites. Looks almost like an Amiga title. Some interesting elements here and then but the backgrounds are generally just a black screen.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Very goofy music and tinny sound effects. Sounds cheap


Overall Score: 50

Review ID: 969
