Rampart for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Rampart

The OG tower defense


Genre: puzzle - blocks

Publisher: Elec Arts

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Almost an RTS game. The building phase is Tetris-like and the fighting phase is an awkward lightgun shooter. Neither mode is particularly fun or interesting but the mashup makes it better than the sum of its parts. Fun for a few rounds, but entirely forgettable.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

A never ending stromg of the same level. The only difference seems to be the number and movement of enemies.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

I can dig the tower defense motif. And the presentation is nice enough.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

2nd gen graphics. Didn't look much different on the NES.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Sparse and simple. The drums fit the military theme.


Overall Score: 41

Review ID: 447
