UFO Kamen Yakisoban: Kettler no Kuroi Inbō
The Noodle Man comethGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: Den'Z
Year: 1994
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Super repetitive. Only three moves - punch, dash kick, and jump kick. Enemies run around so quickly that the jump kick is completely useless. The dash is effective but weak. Besides, the enemies are so braindead that punching is the best way to dispatch them. They rarely even attack making the game painfully easy. Movement is fast enough.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Standard stuff. Very long levels with a quick boss fight at the end. The locales change frequently which is fun but the levels have no actual variety.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
One long meme. You're a mascot for a ramen noodle company called UFO. The world you're walking around is full of normal people who watch you beat up foot soldiers who look like the Blues Brothers and a variety of food related characters. The game doesn't lean into it's obviously silliness as much as I expected it to, or as much as Pepsiman did, but it's still unique.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Surprisingly good. But the backgrounds look much better than the sprites which are repetitive and lack detail and animation. There's a huge and mostly useless HUD that takes about 20% of the screen.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
The music is goofy, but definitely not something I want to listen to for long. Muted sounds.
Overall Score: 43
