The Gurdian Legend

[Anonymous No.5486506]

how ungodly good must the team be for a game to age this well, heck 31 years old gameand it looks and feels so great, makesyou feel powerfull but can still kick your ass in seconds without it feeling artificially hard and actually does a f'ing good job at combining 2 so different genres shmup with top view zelda.

Also cute cyborg chick that turns into an aerospace jet fighter.

Not sure how I saw it as a kid, but back then I never saw her sprite as a female, it looked like something else, and now I can't unsee its reality.

This game probably has the most alien atmosphere out of all Famicom games. Everything feels cold and abandoned yet dangerous. You feel like you are navigating an ocean trench

I can't imagine where you got that impression. Great fucking game (that I never beat) that truly sucks in the player.

It's hard but fair, i just beaten corridor 20, a good strat is not playing the corridors like you would play most shmups, so tank some of the damage and lure some enemies to your way, use the special weapons as the hp is a more valuable resource than the ammo, also big enemies have higher chances of dropping chips, sinche those replenish some ammo and hp killing the enemies that drop them is a priority.

Welp, there weren't a lot of female protags back in '88 , and the most well known (samus) was revealed to be a girl only when you beat the game so...

Funny how that bothered no boys playing it back then, I certainly didn't care and was a tad shocked at the revelation, but not angry.

Correct. The game probably got me in trouble for swearing at those parts too. Those were the days.

There's plenty of drops that give you some extra hp so why bother evading the impossible to evade bullet hell when you can afford to take some damage till the next drop? i mean it's not like you are playing gradius or r-type where you die from the breath of an alien so playing in a more aggressive way is better.

Oh it bothered all the boys, they would be angry of how sore their wrist and crotch was after playing.

It's alright but it doesn't do either of the genres particularly well.
Also Tecmo released a game that was a hybrid of shmup/adventure years before this on the Famicom also.

Her sprite looks and animates way better than most snes and MD ones. FFVI and PSIV included.

First boss that legit gave me trouble in the game.

After meeting the Grimgrins, I felt humbled.

[Anonymous No.5488504]

>>5488494
I can still see the grimgrin on nightmares from time to time, sadly i found out even the red one dies fast if you fly onto him with the saber as enemies can't harm you when they recieve damage and the saber actually pours the max dps that boses can take...

[Anonymous No.5488505]

>>5488504
"it" also dies fast to the saber but the hands still harm you regardless so killing this one with the saber alone is extremely hard, however alternating saber fly and EE spam works like a charm.
