Clash at Demonhead

Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Bowser1823@aol.com A game nearly no one (that I know of) played, a game that combined rpg elements and lots of action together and mashed it together into a very good game. The game had it all, flying, diving, selling gold, buying power ups, and using magic force. Yes, this is the game that had tough bosses. Lots of chit chat between a bunch of characters including every single boss. Well here goes.

Graphics 7 out of 10

The graphics were good for a NES game. The main character "Bang" was done nicely, some of the bosses were impressive, like one of the bosses starts out small and looks graphically inferior, but as you shoot him he gets bigger and bigger until he looks like a powerful DEMON! Very cool I might add. The bosses were always bigger than "Bang", some were slightly bigger, others were huge (the one that gets bigger as you shoot him). When you talk with the other characters (bosses, friends, former friends, strangers) the view changes to a "talk time" view and the characters look sort of like Japanese anime, very well done. Depending on what they say during the talk the character whether it be "Bang" or other characters the facial expressions of the characters change, cool! (for a NES game anyway.) One problem maybe that the bullets of almost all of the characters look exactly the same and all of them have the same strength regardless if they are normal enemies or bosses! If the boss does fire bullets they fire a lot I mean a lot! Trying to avoid them is almost impossible. Also, one type of enemy changes its face if you change your suit.

Music and Sound 7 out of 10

The sound was OK. It had small sounds such as the sound of the normal Gun will get monotonous since you will fire it very, very, much. Believe me. Depending on what gun you use (rolling star, power ball, or Big Bang) the sound will change. The diving sound of when you dive into water or lava will stay the same if you jump in normally or use the great diving gear (And life saver. The sound of the jets of the jetpack are good. There aren't many different sounds in this game but I guess its OK considering the small sizes of cartridge at the time and that the game was big enough as it is! The music was very monotonous! Almost the same music would play every time you play, Normal game music would come on a normal route (that's right the game has routes not levels) But different music would come on a level that has a secret. The music in the caves was good. The boss music was especially good. The boss music would be the same against all bosses except two. The last boss (who was incredibly easy) and the evil Demon (not the one who got bigger every time you shoot him, he was a normal boss) music was different. The last boss music was good but the evil demon music was very cool! The reason the evil demon had different was because the evil demon provided the plot twist in the game and he was the most powerful of all bosses (more powerful than the last boss who was as powerful as a normal one) he was the most powerful because if you went against him without the sword of apollo he would immediately kill you with one hit and you can't kill him but with the sword you can hurt him but he will take half of your energy instead of all of it (where as normal bosses will take one bar of your energy with one hit).

Game Challenge 10 out of 10

This is where the game excels the most. This game is very challenging. As I already mentioned that the game has routed instead of levels where you can go back to the other route, to explain the route system lets say for example after you finish route 1 (which is one way) you get a choice of routes 2, 3, 4, and 1 (You pick one to go back) if you pick 4 then you have choices of route 4 and other routes like that. Anyway if a character at route 3 tells you to go to route 17, just getting to route 17 is a major hassle! And going to route 17 is something you do in the beginning of the game! The bosses are hard not because of the damage they give you (which is not a lot, except the Evil Demon). But because of how to figure out their weak spot or how many hits they get in one turn, for example one boss Bopper continually shoots weak bullets but shoots so many that you can die in a matter of seconds. But bosses also fire fireballs (the dragon type boss) which is very very difficult to dodge.

Game Play-Fun 10 out of 10

This game is very fun! In figuring out the puzzles in beating enemies, heck even buying a Item is fun! When you buy a jet pack you can fly as long as your jet-pack has fuel. Flying is very fun! You can completely skip a route when you use it, although the jet-pack is a little bit expensive at $8,000. It isn't the most expensive thing, because the super suit is coming in at $9,990! The super suit makes you invincible as long as it lasts and enable you to climb ice walls and swim in lava. The aqua lung enables you to swim in water very fast and without running out of air. The special powers the hermit gives you are very fun like micro power, levitation, traveling to routes you already passed, getting all your energy back, and Karate power which makes you invincible and when you attack you do a karate kick.

Frustration

The frustration was only when you can't beat the bosses or couldn't get on the flying platforms when you don't have enough money to buy a jet-pack. Those single headed enemies that fly in circles. When you accidently used all your shop calls. Sop calls allow you to call a shop and you can only carry three calls at a time, its the only way you can get to the store, In the store you can buy shop calls but if you forget.

Replayability 2 out of 10

This game isn't really replayable, after you beat it you beat it. Maybe you would want to see if you incorrectly placed the royal medallions in the bomb and let the world blow up but you just see the screen... (sorry you have to see for yourself)

Game Value 10 out of 10

This great game is worth every bit its price! When I got this game I never beat one boss (How embarrassing even though I was 5) when I got older I decided to play it again and I beat it because guess what, I discovered the bosses weakness, and found a hidden normal boss which if I didn't fight I couldn't beat the game. So remember to dive under water at all times, you may never know what you are going to get.

Overall 8 out of 10

In conclusion this game is very good except a few sound limitations and frustrating of flying platforms. Get this game if you like rpg, action, adventure and lots of talking.
