Ring ni Kakero
Boxing as a visual novelGenre: sports - boxing
Publisher: Masaya
Year: 1998
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
There's...not much to this game. At first glance it looks like you can move freely around The ring to attack your opponent, but looks are deceiving. Instead, you hit the R button a few times to gain some points and then hit one of the face buttons to initiate a cutscene. Then you just hold to the right and if you started holding right before the computer did you'll win a confrontation. Your opponent can initiate a similar cutscene and again if you hold right before they do you, you'll win and not take any damage. So all you do in this game to win a match is score a couple of hits, initiate a cutscene, and after about 10 of those you finally wear down their health and knock them out. It's barely interactive.
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
Every fight is the same. The only difference is the look of the cutscenes.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Clearly based on a boxing manga. The personality for the game is its only redeeming quality.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
The cutscenes are fun to watch and look great. There's only about ten of them and once you e seen them you've seen everything the game has to offer.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
I lied, the music and sound is this games best quality. I enjoyed it all
Overall Score: 32
