Itβs very much one of βthoseβ older NES games. Where the game is less focused with giving the player a reasonably balanced experience and more focused with busting the players balls and wasting their time to make them feel like they got their money's worth.
Normally when it comes to NES games like this one Iβd probably just not bother and move on but the only reason I kept playing to the end was because of the sheer amount of charm this game is leaking.
Please I need to know where else are you gonna play as a human boy/alien pterodactyl hybrid shooting Jinmenken, fighting The plant from Little Shop of Horror but as an eggplant to avoid copyright, and fight a giant bouncing Tempura Shrimp and onion rings; all while the background as devolved to look like hell, with bleeding skulls and fire erupting from the ground. The amount of strange stuff they were able to pack into an NES game is honestly impressive, like sometimes when you enter a boss room you wonβt even fight a boss, sometimes itβll already be dead so you get the points regardless; or maybe youβll come upon some zombies who just want to show you their strange dance, and if you watch their funny little dance youβll just win the fight because thatβs all the zombies wanted. Between the strange but fun bosses and the bizarre enemy choices in between the boss rooms you never really know what kind of weird monster or enemy choice you're gonna come upon next.
When replaying an NES game I find that most of them donβt hold up as well as I think a lot of people like to think they do, and what I mean by that is βMost of these games were always bad and if you think NES era difficulty wasn't complete BS then you were either a rich kid who got Nintendo Power and has false nostalgia of the past, or your just a sadomasochistβ. That is mostly the case here too but unlike most NES games where the sprite work is either pretty great to shotty at best; the charm and personality this game oozes almost outweighs the poor hit detection, bad weapons, and the bullshit maze level.
