Lagoon for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Lagoon

Zelda with a butter knife


Genre: adventure - overhead

Publisher: Kemko/Seika

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Miniscule 10% draw distance Weapon has an insanely short reach. Enemies hit you as often as you can attack them. They also love to stun lock you since you have no i-frames. You start with a comically small amount of health. Be prepared to die A LOT early on. Enemies move randomly so they're extremely hard to hit. 4 way directional movement. Very slow movement.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Typical dungeon design, but at least there are some recognizable features that help you navigate the maze. Not great but not bad either.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Very generic fantasy/JRPG setting. It's simple enough that I can dig it.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Lots of slowdown. Simple but attractive graphics.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Love the music in this game! Even though the game itself is pretty awful, I felt compelled to continue playing. I credit the music. Lots of sound effects get swallowed for some reason.


Overall Score: 52

Review ID: 284
