Gokujo Parodius!

And you thought Gradius 3 had a lot of slowdown


Genre: shooter - horizontal

Publisher: Konami

Year: 1994

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Same great gameplay, but with a ton of slowdown. It's not wonder because the screen gets absolutely filled with sprites that are scaling and swarming. Difficulty is ramped up significantly too.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

I liked the levels less than those in the original. Most are plays on the same theme, so they invite direct comparispn. Things that were novel in the first game are slightly overdone in this one. Still good, but more of an echo than an exclamation.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Crazy sauce. Leans into the sexy elements.


Art Style Score: 5

Art Style Notes:

Insane artwork. Konami at its peak of creativity.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:


Overall Score: 82

Review ID: 1659
