Fantasy Zone

Retro Archives (12 out of 20) (60%)

En dépit d’une version de bonne qualité, Fantasy Zone sur NES doit s’incliner sur à peu près tous les niveaux face à la version Master System. Si le jeu présente toujours un univers charmant aux couleurs vives, la maniabilité est un peu moins agréable, et la réalisation reste inférieure au portage réalisé sur la 8 bits de SEGA. Une bonne alternative malgré tout pour les possesseurs de la NES.

It’s a very solid design for a game with cute little ships and creatures/ enemies. There’s also very catchy music adding to the charm, but this version of the game loses a lot of that good will with a drab palette and very choppy scrolling. This scrolling is one of the main problems in the game, as it makes avoiding enemies trickier than it should be, and waves of baddies will often appear as soon as one changes direction, which results in a lot of unavoidable deaths. The game is just this side of playable, but that isn’t an incredibly positive recommendation.

Fantasy Zone isn’t unplayable, but it’s definitely an inferior port of what is probably an otherwise fantastic shmup.
