Kunio no Oden
River City BlocksGenre: puzzle - blocks
Publisher: Technōs Japan
Year: 1994
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Blocks falls in pairs and can be rotated but man do they fall too fast. This makes the difficulty way too high with no way to adjust it. You can choose between Puyo -style four tile matching, or instead use Columns-style three tile matching. Either way The game falls into the trap that so many of these puzzlers do - there are too many block colors! Making sets is difficult and once you make a mistake there's no hope of recovering. It controls ok but is too difficult to be any fun.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Has the standard VS mode and an endless mode where the speed is dialed up to maximum. It's nigh unplayable. However, before each match you can select between Columns or Puyo matching rules so you effectively get both games here.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
The between match cutscenes show Kunio (River City) characters but in-game is food themed and feels like a completely disconnected game.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Nothing special
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
You can select between the very Japanese music tracks.
Overall Score: 39
