The player controls a Buddhist monk, Bonze Kackremboh. His weapons are Buddhist prayer beads, called "mala" beads, which can be powered up until they become almost as large as the player. The monk battles snakes, giant eyeballs, ghosts and other enemy creatures.

Wouldve powered through to the end out of stubbornness but on the sixth level I apparently died in a strange place and got a "Start Position Error" and the game froze. Incredible
Just dully one of the worst games I've ever played. Slow and plodding, obviously designed to munch your hard earned quarters, has ass platforming, and is just uninteresting in almost every way. The fourth level's neat tho, it's a lake of blood with no music and a constant churning sound effect that creates a cool atmosphere. Single slight brightspot. Also was funny how broken it is, outside of the aforementioned position error there were a number of times I clipped into a wall by just walking at it weird.

Olha, apesar de eu achar aquele discurso de que games têm que ser analisados holisticamente em vez de se tentar colocar gameplay, história, música e etc em caixinhas distintas, tem obras que nem sempre essa abordagem vai ser justa ou interessante, por claramente se focarem ou destacarem num aspecto específico. Bonze Adventure é um. Ele não é lá um platformer muito bom no que tange o platforming, mas tem uma ambientação tão intrigante e original, com uma jornada pelo submundo budista que o torna num equivalente asiático de Divina Comédia que realmente vale a pena pelo menos experimentar.
