Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 9: Piko Interactive Collection 1
Another of the random unlicensed untranslated titles Piko have acquired over the years and honestly this one actually is pretty darn good. Its a pretty basic but fun arcade style beat-em-up that tries its best to ape the sort of stuff Capcom was putting out and it does a decent job at it.
While the controls at first are a bit awkward thanks to some rather stiff animations getting in the way of readability, once you get used to it, you'll be blasting through enemies with ease.
Theres thankfully a decent variety of enemies and some rather fun moments to be had thanks to the array of screen-smashing magic items you can use at any time. Gives a real Golden-Axe magic feeling and that feels good.
I will note the game is a little on the easier side than most beat-em-ups, mostly thanks to the game defaulting to easy difficulty but also because the A.I. is a little on the dumb side. For once this may actually be in this game's benefit as it means the feeling of 'Arcade Cheap Deaths' dont occur quite as much.
So yeah. Very happily surprised with this one. Finally some good eating.
