Blaster Master Zero 3

Great end to the trilogy and I still think this (series) is one of Inti's best work(s). Even though the story is conclusive and am fine with it ending here would not mind seeing this formula evolved even more (especially the top down sections with more movement/combat options). Please make a bundle with all 3 games included (with the DLCs added in to maybe), kind of silly there isn't one already. Otherwise fantastic game!

The last game in the BMZ trilogy, Blaster Master Zero 3, is a worthy send-off, with both the narrative chops and difficulty to prove it. To expand on the former point, BMZ3 flips the script somewhat in that, on top of the residual mutant threat, the human planet of Sophia's defence force also opposes Jason on an intermittent and flexible basis. Without spoiling too much, Eve is initially captured by the Sophia Force (SF), and Jason spends the majority of the game searching for her, investigating news about her circumstances, and fighting off any mutants in the way. Recurring pilots like Kanna and Gonbei; Sophia Force commander Kane Gardner and his wife Jennifer; and some mutant bosses from BMZ2 that weren't quite dead all make for an engaging, constantly evolving storyline in each area you visit. Kane's heterodox tendency to defy SF command orders to indirectly help out Jason, and Leibniz essentially replacing Eve in the passenger seat of the G-Sophia helps BMZ3 carve out an identity of its own, making it more than just a chronological following of the prior game's plot conventions. BMZ3 is more difficult than both BMZ1 and BMZ2, as you'd probably expect. While the G-Sophia has mo…

Great finale to the series. Everything feels dialed in at this point and the difficulty is well balanced. Once you catch the hint at "the ending," it takes a fun turn and there's much more content afterwards. Cool idea. If you've already played the first two definitely pick it up.

Story-wise, this is a great end to the series. Really emphasizes the bond between Jason and Eve (and Fred). It makes me feel for them a lot more than I would've expected to when I played through the first game. Gameplay-wise, the game is alright. It does continue to build upon what the last two games did, but nothing amazing. The 2D tank sections are about the same. You once again find cool weapons and mobility options, but because the dimension hopping gimmick, the maps this time were a little too complex for me. Thankfully there is fast travel so any back-tracking is mitigated. The top-down shooter sections still continue to be fun, and they did rebalance the gun levels this time so that you will find use for more than one gun type. And thankfully, the music and aesthetics still continue to be good. None of the areas in the game felt particularly memorable, most of them are just large facilities on planet Sophia, with the exception of returning to planet Stranga (Hi again Kanna) near the later half of the game. I also noticed a lot of boss reuse in this game which I think is sorta lame. While the gameplay just didn't hit the same way BMZ2 did for me, this game and its story …

好游戏，童年的回忆。

The game layout, shooting, treasure hunt, and adventure appeal are all definitely there. This game is better, considering I first played the original NES version of "Blaster Master" by Sunsoft when I was just 14 years old. Great Game! I would definitely recommend this game to beginners of all ages!
