Heavy Nova for MD CD
Review #12507
Heavy Nova
The laziest CD port ever
Gameplay
Looks and plays exactly like the Genesis version. No added FMV or anything else to improve the game. Lazy
The most unresponsive controls ever. Turning around requires double tapping but it works maybe half the time.
Hits register randomly, like maybe 25% of the time. Actually that's being generous. It's more like 10%.
No idea how to pull off special moves.
Level Design
You traverse a very short 2-3 screen "level" with obstacles and enemies which only serve to demonstrate how horrible the controls are before having a 1v1 fight with another mech.
So boring.
Theme
The premise is fine and the opening cinematic got me excited. You're a mech being trained on an asteroid space station.
Art Style
Huge sprites are well animated. However the mech designs are some of the least interesting robots I've seen this side of Rise of the Robots.
Backgrounds are poorly drawn with boring repeating times of grey, brown, and purple.
Audio
Music is better quality than the Genesis version but still sounds like a 70s TV show soundtrack. Sounds are chincy and whiny.
