Sagaia for Genesis
Review #4494
Sagaia
Sharks with frickin lasers
Gameplay
Classic Darius gameplay
Pick up a shield and hold down both a and b to shoot missiles and a normal shot. Power ups lightly upgrade these two shots but add other shots like a vertical laser.
Good stuff
Thankfully, enemies go down pretty quickly, unlike other Darius games.
Level Design
Levels are filled to the brim with enemies and environmental obstacles. It's the environmental stuff that gives the levels character and provides most of the challenge.
Like all other Darius games There are branching pads after each level which gives the game way more replayability than most shooters. There are total of 22 levels!
Theme
I've always enjoyed the bioorganic and underwater creature theme of the Darius series.
Art Style
The sprite work in the game is good but the backgrounds aren't as interesting as I would like. There are a few levels with interesting effects in the background but others are very static like zone B for example. Also, the colors seem muted and dark.
Audio
Oy vay. The sounds of your shot and missiles are soooo annoying. The missiles sound like squarely mice while the shot sounds like popping three bubble wrap bubbles in rapid succession. And these sounds are so loud!
