Two Tenkaku

Post by CIT »

Can someone tell me about this PSX game? I know virtually nothing about it.

Is it an Arcade port, if so is it a good port?
Who's the developer and have they done anything else noteworthy?
Is the game any good?
Anything interesting to note gameplay mechanics-wise?

Thanks!

I played it again recently & thought that the music and gaudy graphics weren't bad at all. I think its worth going for a 1CC (with the key being; prudent use of your bomb stock).

Stahlfeder is boring tho.

About: Two-Ten Kaku was created by Club Dep and Energy for Sony Music exclusively for the PS.

Graphics: Strictly SNES quality. Worse than Raiden DX's for sure. Enemy ships look completely generic and very grainy. However, you do get fairly nice (for its time) FMV intros, endings, and scenes inbetween stages. It's pretty obvious where the budget for this shooter went to...

Music: OK, nothing amazing, nothing horrible.

Gameplay: Shot & bomb only, 3 ships, 2 power ups per ship, slightly larger than cockpit hitbox, weird looking bombs, a rapid fire button that simply increases your shot frequency by 5 or 6 (though you still have to keep tapping the button for all but one shot). Score is accumulated simply by destroying enemies and collecting coins; no advanced methods here (at least none that I noticed).

Overall, quite mediocre. The game "feels" completely generic although the FMV scenes aren't bad.

OK, thanks Ganelon. I guess I'll skip over this one then. Seems more of a collector's game I suppose.
