Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 9: Piko Interactive Collection 1
Its the last one of the Piko Collection, I had been putting this off for last but was it worth the wait? Honestly, even after putting in several hours, I'm not sure. This is another one of Piko's early acquisitions, a bootlegged title by Super Fighter Team, given a brand new translation and both physical and digital releases by Piko.
And its a pretty nifty game all things considered, taking a rather classic Chinese legend and throwing a turn based strategy RPG spin on it all. Its a rather fun, if slightly simplistic affair with a focus on the battles over anything else, there isn't really any exploration to do here. Just straight up battling from one scene to the next.
I will note the game feels weirdly balanced, some levels seem outright mean spirited at times but the game counters that by having all exp carry over from game overs so even if you have to grind a little through failure, its still very possible to push through the harder parts of the game with enough attempts.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of other things to say about this, as a whole the game is a little too on the simple side and while that makes for some easy enough gaming, it does make it slightly feel like the McDonalds of tactics. Enough to satisfy but not enough to actually fix what you're after.
