Some of the levels contain a second floor for you to jump up to, but these spots can be perilous, as you'll have to dodge the background dangers so conveniently placed there. Worse still, the levels all sport a very simple design, just the one screen which doesn't really give you the chance to move your beast around a lot. Couple this with the apparent hesitation of the enemy beast during fights, and you've got yourself some very slow, boring gameplay. Most of the time, instead of launching an attack, your beast will hop to and fro, looking like a dysfunctional drunkard. Attacks and other special moves are controlled with the push of one of the two action buttons and a direction key, each combination of these two should result in a different move if input correctly. Not only is the control very awkward- it's unresponsive, and most of those 33 operations are decidedly useless.
(although I suspect that the learning curve is inversely related to age). It took me more than an hour to gain enough mastery of the controls even to pretend to fight the computer opponent. It has- count 'em- 33 different control operations, most of which are either multi-key, or multi-stick/button operations (depending on whether you use a joystick or the keyboard.) Sound confusing? It is. You must face off against each other until the victor of this elite group is decided, and if that victor happens to be you, well, then battle that naughty toad man to free the city of his insidious control.Īlthough the game scores high points for great sense of humor and fluid animations of cartoon characters, its interface is clumsy to the extreme.
In a nutshell, the game lets you act out your dream of controlling a huge metallic animal to battle an evil toad man (surely that's what everyone dreams about. both of which unfortunately sank beneat horrible controls and repetitive action.ĭespite its claim of being ''The Ultimate Fight Game," Battle Beast is far from being even a good fighting game, although its great cartoon graphics may appeal to budding gamers in your house. Battle Beast is a funny arcade-style combat game with terrific full-color graphics and humor.
