The player takes on the role of Golgo 13 (also known as Duke Togo), an assassin whose objective is to destroy the leader of the Drek group. On the way, Golgo 13 must pass through several areas, including East Berlin, Athens, and Alexander Island, which is located off the coast of Antarctica.

Literally everything about this is so fucked. you have a stupid, decreasing health bar into the game and you add to it by (mostly) defeat enemies in a shooting minigames,.. …

It's a rare occasion that I designate a game ' simply not worth a playthrough but this game is so bad that its not even worth a 'lets play' thru.!

Literally everything about this is so fucked. you have a stupid, decreasing health bar into the game and you add to it by (mostly) defeat enemies in a shooting minigames,.. There are also other various minigames that seek to decrease your health.

enter image description here
The game uses this First-Person Scrolling shooter minigame to replenish your health at 50 pts a pop from enemies. It's truly terrible game design.
Your goal (or objective) is to wander your way in this 2s side scrolling adventure game into various plot advanced 'scenes' from the 2D side scroller set up from pressing up at the right time and the right place.

Unfortunately, this game punishes the player, just by existing.! I have no regret sending it to my list of abandoned games. Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode was never a hit to begin with, but it has aged beyond badly!
