Tiger Road
If only it had hit detectionGenre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1990
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Difficult combat. Horrible hit detection. Enemies bound around randomly. You can find one of three or four weapons. Enemies have a longer reach than you and attack rapidly so it's hard to avoid taking damage. It's a shame because movement feels ok and the weapons and fun to use.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Whoever designed this was playing a lot of Ninja Gaiden at the time. Or perhaps it was the reverse. Either way the level designs look like they could be straight out of NG. Actually, they don't use as much platforming. Combat is the name of this game.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
I love the chibi art style married to a Ninja Gaiden world. Unfortunately there's not much of a story with minimal presentation.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Cute artwork. I like the style more than the actual quality.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Ick. The song that plays in the first two levels is...uh...terrible
Overall Score: 48
