Sengoku Denshou
One of the most ok NeoGeo portsGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: Data East
Year: 1993
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Slow movement, but generous hit detection. There are a handful of enemy types. Limited moves inyour normal form, but the gimmick of the game is a set of transformations which are randomly dropped by enemies. You can get a sword, turn into a dog with a screw attack, a samurai with a projectile, and a ninja who backflips instead of walking. And that's just in the first level. These powerups timeout after about 30 seconds. Enemies hit like a truck, so it's critical to keep them at bay. Energy pickups give you barely anything - perhaps only a half-hit's worth of health.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Whole bunch of short segments. You get beamed up Star Trek-style between each segment. The levels take you all over the place - from a standard city stree to rooftops to a sci-fi setting to a cherry blossom forest in the clouds. Enemies come in waves of 3 and surround you but not too bad.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
Double Dragon meets Legend of the Mystical Ninja Kind of all over the place to be honest.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Large sprites with decent animation. The character models are great and the backgrounds are lively. I only wish there were more effects or environmental elements, but what's hear looks good. Still, nowhere close to a Final Fight in terms of graphics.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Bad music. Boring japanese flute music, or groovy tunes that feel completely out of place. Quiet sound effects. Nothing special.
Overall Score: 57
