Sinistron
R-Type with a bird beakGenre: shooter - horizontal
Publisher: IGS
Year: 1991
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Blatant R-Type clone. Options hang out above and below your ship but don't do much since enemies swarm to you and therefore come at you from the front. Only three weapons and none are very interesting. Only minor upgrades too. No rapid fire.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Long stretches of nothing. Short bursts of something. Very slow progression. Boring boss fights.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
Piss poor presentation. There's no cutscenes. No story, no fanfare at the end of a level. Nothing at the start of a level. They're not even a menu on the title screen. Otherwise it's your typical space shooter.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Easily the best feature of the game. Lovely artwork and sprites. The backgrounds have animation and character to them. However, your ship looks like a storks beak. Is this big long yellow thing attached to the end of a normal looking spaceship. Hideous
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
At first the music doesn't seem too bad but it loops every 10 seconds so it gets old super fast.
Overall Score: 61
