Gekido Kintaro's Revenge

I was craving a simple beat 'em up and the colorful retro graphics of Gekido caught my eye. I have to say I sure am glad it wasn't more expensive as I frankly hate this game. The stages and enemies were designed to make every death feel incredibly cheap and infuriating. Every trap is guaranteed to hit until you know their exact placement ahead of time, and even then it's a toss as they appear just off the screen so you often can not be precise enough. Both the enemy AI and your own combos tend to place you overlapping an enemy sprite, rendering you incapable of striking that specific enemy regardless of the direction you're facing, while the said enemy has no issue striking you. The jumps are imprecise and will leave you wondering whether you should keep trying or if the gap really is just too big. The hit boxes on some objects make absolutely no sense (a falling rock will hurt you even though it misses by a half an inch on the screen), and the game even has a habit of forgetting to let you move after you clear the screen of all enemies making you restart the stage. Do yourself a favor and replay Streets of Rage 4 instead if you need a simple but properly made game.

A classic Zombie beat em up from the 90s. Compared to games these days its not that good but in the 90s it was far ahead of its time. U can play it coop and beat the ****** out of the Zombies. There r also a few bossfights and ur lives r limited. Not the easiest game but still fun to play

Рекомендую любителям жанра (коим я тоже являюсь). Порт на ПК, правда, не самый удачный, в частности, неудобное меню, невозможность менять настройки в процессе игры, а также огромные спрайты (но к этому привыкаешь). Это всё хорошо для GBA, но для ПК можно было заморочиться и посильнее. Видимо, в такое лучше играть на эмуляторах. Сам битемап при этом непох, лупить всякую нечисть приятно, всё мощно и хлёстко. В общем не шедевр, но получить удовольствие можно.

i own this on the gameboy advance, beat when i was a jit, replayed it on here. still awesome a decade later

Good. LORD. 2000`s flash games text bubbles riddled with errors, and I just made it to the third stage. Skipping text/conversations is incredibly annoying, having to hold down the button, and then wait when it's finished to press it again. Was it necessary to add new music when the base game has one if the best fighting soundtracks in the universe? Gets repetitive sure, maybe try and fix that instead of throwing it away for non descriot "new" music which in my opinion just sucks. The new cutscenes are pretty cool but what in smegmed's name have you odn with Tetsuo's face? Have you people perhaps seen the cover of the game your are working on? That is what he looks like, not that ecstasy munching kid that on of you conjured up. Despicable and absolutely unnecessary. It is great to be able to change control, but right now that's just a drop of gold in a pool of manure. Also, I don't know if this was the same in the original, but if moving vertically and you hold the button too long, Tetsuo's walking animation must be finished so you'll often move further than intended which is quite annoying with these frame perfect unclear traps. Welp, at least the old soundtrack is good, that…

awful port
