Is this game half as awesome as it looks? A quarter as awesome, even?

>> No.2683682

Hard as fuck but its pretty good once you get further in and get weapons and shit.

>> No.2683684

Pretty awesome game, actually. Do you like doing the jumping swirl slash with Zero in Megaman X4? You'll be doing that for a while. It's balls hard on normal mode and there's a super duper secret true last boss that you can only access by playing on hard difficulty.

This is the Dork Souls of undead zombie swordsmen videogames. By the way, the team working on this game was responsible for making the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series years later.

Easily a quarter as awesome. Maybe half as awesome, depending on how much you can appreciate the unfiltered texture of the Genesis.

Did you know that a 6th gen Chakan game was under development but it ended up becoming Blood Omen 2?

So I told my friend Chakan to kill Death... and he actually did it, the absolute foreverman!

The game itself is ok but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. It also has one of the greatest intros to a video game I've ever seen.

>> No.2683753

What sold SEGA games to me were their gimmicks since the gameplay for most Beat'um ups had many similarities, this game doesn't have a gimmick to go along the Main Character's backstory that i'd describe as unique and thus its not even close to how awesome the concept sounds than what the gameplay actually is.

>>2683741
Intro is one of the better ones for sure but atmosphere doesn't appeal to me , falls flat imho.

But this is a sidescrolling platformer, not a beat'em up.

>> No.2683876

This game is fantastic. It's difficult, but with great atmosphere, great art direction, and lots of fun. Also was really fun on the GameGear.

Game is hard as fuck but the awesome character and atmosphere makes up for it.

Literally one of my favorite games on the genesis.

I wish it was made by SoJ instead of SoA. That music is insufferable, thanks to that shitty GEMS driver.

Chakan is pretty cool but I think my home girl Chaka Khan could kick his ass.
