What does /vr/ think of Knuckles Chaotix?

Underrated game. As a Sonic CD fan I don't see why people are so hard on it. Seems more like misdirected hatred towards the 32X itself (which is also kind of dumb imo)

>> No.10919302

It's an ok game. The level design is weird and repetitive and doesnt make the best use of the clackers gimmick.
I also think having 5 acts per zone was a bad idea, not enough variety.

Looks beautiful(if a little garish) but it's clearly unfinished, the ring tether system is fucking terrible, and Charmy's so overpowered that he turns the game into a joke.
I don't know why they didn't just make it a Saturn game, to be honest.

Wonderful art design and music, fucking terrible level design, we should have gotten a Knuckles Chaotix Mania which removes the band and uses the assets to make a good game.

The core gameplay is shit
The level design is shit
The levels look like shit
Character designs are great
Soundtrack has some great songs
Bonus stages are alright

>> No.10919395

My only problem is that there aren't enough enemies

Great soundtrack but the game itself is horrible

It's still integral part of the 90s Sonic canon though, a 'shitty classic', so to say. It's also the game that gave Mania its art style I believe, not any other classic Sonic title. Mania looks like a 32x game

Mania is vastly more impressive than any 32bit game. Last time I checked, 32bit consoles can't output 1080p or any color composition. Modern games can do that. The size and scope of Mania makes it distinctly modern.

Modern games are infinitely gayer than anything on the 32x

>> No.10919651

There should be a game that uses its assets where you only play as Knuckles and it's exploration oriented like the Wario games. Knuckles has the perfect move set for an exploration game.

Strange that this was the only half attempt at a Knuckles game. He was always pretty popular and ideal for a more exploration/puzzle/combat-focused platformer but it never happened. Even Tails got those GG games.

The sometimes mesmerizing aesthetics do not justify the awful awful levels.
Mediocre at best.

>> No.10919854

I know it's technically 'Knuckle's' game, but it just doesn't feel like a Sonic game... can't explain why. The special stage is cool and a lot of fun tho.

>> No.10920017

The people shitting on the tether mechanic are either incels or grew up without siblings. It makes two player so much fun.

>> No.10920021

It's genuinely great. The reason so many people shit on the controls (which is why the game is fun) are probably the same people who think classic Resident Evil also has bad controls. That is to say, they're not very bright.
