Review V1CGaming 3/5 · Feb 14, 2023 Completed
Sure, there are better, more advanced beat ‘em ups you could play (both graphically and in terms of movesets), but overall it’s still a fun time. The zany characters, both good and bad, and the fun super moves still make it stick out even now, six years away from the “crazy future year” they set the game in…

Platform:
Arcade version.
Graphics/Sound:
The graphics seem to be the same as any arcade street brawler I've played. Pretty good, with large characters in some iso-ish perspective environment. Everything is bright and colorful here with always something going on in the background. The main characters look funny and badass at the same time.

Gameplay:
It's a standard beat'em up with no surprises. As far as I could see you just walk through all the stages from left to right and beat up or shoot anything in the way, picking up whatever enemies leave behind as weapons. From time to time you can mount a small mech for extra firepower, which becomes extra weird when you are playing as baby commando which comes with its own mech, so you actually ride a mech with a smaller mech. You can choose between 4 characters (a super hero more or less, a baby on a mech, a mummy with knifes and a ninja) which play very similar except one special attack that feels a bit different.
Difficulty:
As I said once before its sometimes hard to judge when playing an arcade game on emulator and being able to just shove endless coins. As long as you keep the coins rolling there is no gameover in this game, that makes it easier. Also no instant deaths like in some shoot'em ups. So it's quite average difficulty I would say, nothing too unfair.
Conclusion:
The whole setup is pretty awesome, the character choice is the best I've seen in a long time. I found the gameplay still became rather dull after a while. It's not too long so its still a fun playthrough even on single player.

This is certainly up there as one of the best side scrolling beat-em-ups from the arcades. I have played this through today and love the themes, artwork and animations for all the player controlled characters as well as the enemies. With the addition of weapon pickups and controllable mechs, this is a varied and fun experience. A highlight for me …
This is certainly up there as one of the best side scrolling beat-em-ups from the arcades. I have played this through today and love the themes, artwork and animations for all the player controlled characters as well as the enemies. With the addition of weapon pickups and controllable mechs, this is a varied and fun experience. A highlight for me is the awesome themed stages that are brilliantly created.
I would highly recommend you play this through at least once. You can probably get through it in less than 20-30 minutes, but its definitely worth it.
