Image: MobyGames

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R

aka Sailor Moon 2


Genre: action - beat em up

Publisher: Bandai

Year: 1993

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Short reach on the standard punch. Desperation move plus some sort of bomb attack and a standard grab and throw. Also a good jump kick although it conflicts almost no damage. Decent movement and hit detection. There's a lot to like here. Unfortunately, enemies take so many hits! Levels drag on and on as a result. As you progress the enemies start to move faster. Large variety in enemies. Some enemies are too short to be punched so all you can hit them with is your weak jump kick.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Pretty standard stuff. Enemies come in waves of 2-4. The stages themselves have a good amount of variety and are fun to look at. Bosses at the end of each stage. Stages are way too long, with no breaks and nothing to break yluo the monotony.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

It's Sailor Moon, basically Final Fight with Barbie dolls.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Impressive sprites and backgrounds. No slowdown to deal of. I don't care for the Barbie-like character models, but this is a colorful, well drawn game.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

The weirdest music Ilever in a brawler. It's a chill, almost classical music vibe. It's honestly well made but doesn't belong in a video game.


Overall Score: 60

Review ID: 1554
