Hiho Densetsu: Chris no Boken for PCE CD
Review #11050
Hiho Densetsu: Chris no Boken
Tomb Raider Jr.
Gameplay
Castlevania clone with the standard features like slow movement, tricky platforming, and good ranged weapons. The weapons are the highlight, including a wedge projectile, a boomerang, and a long sword. The slow movement is what holds this back the most.
Level Design
Each stage has a very short time limit. Dilly dally for even a few seconds and you'll run out of time, which is measured in days! Stages are linear and long, and feature tons of one-time, interesting set pieces. There's a fair amount of precision platforming and annoying enemy placement but the level design is good on the whole.
Theme
It's all in Japanese, so I don't know what's happening, but you're an anime Lara Croft with a couple of sidekicks in the cutscenes. The setting is a series of jungle caves.
Art Style
Pedestrian artwork for the most part. A couple of cool effects in the background but the sprites are not great.
Audio
Excellent, atmospheric soundtrack with weak sound effects.
