This game is fascinating in the fact it feels not even close to being a finished product. What happened here? This came out in 1994 and this is what they had to release? The premise is interesting and there could be a decent game here but the mechanics and level design aren’t given much thought or any at all. It’s like they had ideas but so much of the game is empty or pointless filler. There’s a whole damn level that’s just you falling into pits. The game is also short, taking less than an hour to beat.

I can’t even compliment the presentation as the game graphics are alright, there’s barely any cutscenes and zero voice acting in them, the music is only CD quality in the non gameplay parts and the music in the actual game is atrocious. It doesn’t even run well, like it’s shockingly horrible performance wise. This might be the worst running game I’ve seen on the system. I can’t even tell if this is a problem with emulation. I just now tried playing Bomberman 94 and that didn’t have any issues with the audio or anything. I’m just baffled.

There’s not really much to say, I’d argue it might be worth playing just so you can witness how unfinished it is. Even by the end it does nothing to impress with the final room being two enemies with horrible AI. Mechanics aren’t fleshed out at all and the whole experience just feels so nothing. I wanted to enjoy it especially since the cover art is nice, but this just isn’t it. Gainax could have done much better than this and all I can do is just wonder what could have been.
