Clash Force

YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS CRACK MAN!!!

Genuinely bad. A platformer should first and foremost be a test of reflexes and this game is endless ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fake outs that force replays after they kill you stapled to bosses with TOTALLY RANDOM DIRECTIONAL ATTACKS THAT CONSTANTLY ARE IN SEQUENCE! Good luck dodging when the poorly thought out randomness converges to lock you in a corner through no fault of your own stealing the last bit of your health.

Nice

Too generic

A fun quasi Contra shooter, but is sadly uneven in challenge from stage to stage. Some stages, even later on, are a breeze, while some stages, even earlier are, will test your patience and depends more on memorization than actual skill and reflexes. Could use some checkpoints in stages, even if it's just one halfway through. All three characters play the exact same, so there's no real reason to ever use one over the other. Unless you happen to like their design. Also, needing to shoot bosses 100 times with the basic gun is insane, especially with the final two bosses. That was pure misery and made my hands ache. The bonus stage music is an ear worm and it goes on for oddly too long for what it is, especially compared to the other tracks in the game. It feels like it was meant for something else and just shoved into a spot where you'd never hear the whole thing unless you're like me and sat in there with the audio going while having to do something else. Not that it being long is a bad thing, just really weird for what is meant to be the shorter part of the game, the bonus room.

Fun game for the 40 minutes or so it takes. Graphics similar to Mega Drive but with a few nes style models, dunno why the decision. It remembers me Megaman Wily Arms. Cool musics but they never stops until you finish the stage, not even when you die. Also the CRT filter in options is good for real and I give them points for it. It's easy in the regular difficult until you reaches the last stage where it gets a spike, but it doesn't use life counts nor score system. Also the gameplay consists in Contra style jumps but shooting only to the front with the regular weapon or one of the replacements you can get in the stages. Simply and honest, you see what you get.
