#Denjin makai firstw1 series

The diverse and outlandish cast are matched by an equally unique series of enemies. He attacks with everything from his tongue, to a secret tusk in his arm, to killer flies that are shot from his scales. Skullbyule takes on that role, being a huge mutant dinosaur man. With Zeldia having transformed into a fast, bird creature, there was a hole to be filled for hulking behemoths. The mechanics are mostly the same, though the action is speedier, and it’s one of the few beat-em-ups with vertical dashing, allowing you to somersault quickly upwards and downwards.Īs far as the characters, there are many returning faces from Denjin Makai, although they’ve been given an assortment of makeovers and upgrades. However, if you do a special move with a lower power gauge, you’ll get an “Overcharge” warning, which refills the gauge at the expense of one life bar. The special attacks still have their own power gauge, with replenishes automatically. It’s also one of the few games of its types to have an on-screen combo counter, though the enemy health bars, outside of the bosses, have been removed. While many beat-em-ups have dashing attacks, the characters in Guardians walk forward automatically with combos, which makes attacking multiple enemies much easier. There are still weapons to find, in the form of swords, bars and bombs, but your characters already have a huge arsenal that they seem redundant. This special button is used in conjunction with the standard attack and jump buttons to pull off the desperation moves. While the original Denjin Makai only used two buttons, Guardians uses three, with one solely devoted to a major powerful attack, which is usually some kind of projectile.

Each has four slightly different combo strings, depending on what direction you’re holding the joystick, and each still has a number of special moves, which are helpfully indicated on the character select screen. There are eight playable characters now, which may in fact be some kind of record.

It takes all of the elements of its predecessor, speeds up the gameplay, enhances the graphics, and kicks everything up to extraordinary levels. The name change probably occurred since Makai is no longer a playable character. Though the title screen indicates the name Guardians, various logos in the game feature the subtitle Denjin Makai II.
