Arabian Fight

Moby ID: 63500

Description

Princess Lurana has been abducted by the evil Sheikh Sazabiss to offer her as a sacrifice as part of plans for world domination. It's up to four warriors to fight over various levels in pursuit of the Princess and save her and stop the Sheikh's evil plan. The warriors are Sinbat, Goldor, Ramaya and Datta who each have their own fighting style and magic. You can choose to play as one of the warriors with up to three other friends playing along side you. When a warrior is hit then part of his energy gauge decreases. When it is empty then you lose one of two lives.

Arabian Fight is a side scrolling beat-em-up where the screen scrolls as you move but with the length of a each level short. You fight wave's of enemies before facing a boss who needs defeating to move onto the next level. As you play you can break chests and other objects to get food for energy or a magic lamp which then allows you to use a magic spell to hurt all enemies on screen. One effect the game uses for it's visuals is the use of perspective. All characters on the screen move in and out of the screen getting smaller or larger. Some enemies actually appear from the screen into the game.

Excellent Spritework Spoiled By Bad Gameplay

The Good
Games looks great. Nice large sprites. Special attacks look like they are out of an anime.

The Bad
Everything else really.

The Bottom Line
Serviceable gameplay, but you are playing this to experience the visuals. Nothing more.
