Thunder Fox for Genesis
Review #4605
Thunder Fox
The most boring run n gun ever
Gameplay
Slow movement.
Enemies like to stop just outside your melee attack range and knife you from there so you have to skooch in a little closer but invariably take damage in the attempt. Once you pick up a gun this is no longer an issue but since there's limited ammo you sometimes revert back to melee only.
You can only shoot straight - no diagonal or up/down. This severely limits the gameplay options.
Contra this is not.
Level Design
Soooooo boring! Just walk to the right and punch or shoot the bad guys who appear one by one. Occassionally an enemy appears on the left but that's about as much variety this game offers. What a snooze.
Theme
Terrorists are everywhere. Kill them using one of two shirtless goons who wear blue or red pants.
Besides the generic Rambo-like setting, the level intros are minimal as is everything else about the presentation.
Art Style
Looks like a mid-80s arcade game.
Some parallax scrolling in the backgrounds.
Decent explosions and effects but very poor animation.
Audio
Really dorky music. Not the thumping soundtrack you'd expect from a run n gun. It sounds like elevator music.
