Today’s review is for all lovers of retro games! Introducing…
*** MEGANOID!! ***
This game was featured on Applorer in November 2011.
“What? So long ago?”
Well, guess what? We’re going to remind you about the amazing charm of old games.
Gameplay –
The city is under attack! The people need a hero to save the day! Unfortunately, all the heroes have died and there’s no one else anyone can turn to… Except you.
Journey through the city! Dodge spikes, defeat enemies, and collect diamonds along the way. If you finish the level within the time limit or collect all the diamonds, you earn a star and an achievement for each accomplishment. If you get both stars for that level, you can unlock Sarge mode, where you can earn a third star if you collect all the diamonds. This is 2D fun at its best!
Review –
This platformer is a solid retro piece of art. (Even its name is retro – it combines the names of two old titles, Megaman and Metroid!) We love it!! The 8-bit game art and music are adorably charming and reminiscent for all mature gamers who remember playing platformers on consoles a long time ago! Even for younger gamers who don’t remember those days, this is something very different and refreshing from the types of games we see today.
The controls are pretty smooth. The only annoying thing is that this game is actually not that easy! There are several levels that make you die multiple times and you have to keep at it in order to finally complete that level. Of course, there’s that wonderful sense of satisfaction when you do finish that level – it’s unbeatable.
A really good RPG does more than simply help you to pass time on the train home. You know you’ve got a good game in your hands when you’re willing to spend more time on it – You plug your earphones into your mobile device to enjoy the game soundtrack, and indulge yourself for a couple of hours in the fun of the game.
This is one of those games. It brings you right back into your childhood – old-school style.
Rating: 4.7 / 5
