Visually kinda cool and I like the gritty fantasy look but it plays like balls and doesn’t really have enough flair to back it up.
Very bold of Namco to marry this game's primitive, grim Conan the Barbarian aesthetic with a control scheme that's from fucking Mars
scary
Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 6: Namco vol 2
I honestly have a problem reviewing this. As a single player fighting game, its not very good, the graphics are messy, the controls are awkward and the whole thing is a bit of a to-do.
Heres the thing though. Im playing this on an evercade so I cant even try it multiplayer as the Namco carts dont work on the VS console. Honestly given how clumsy the game is, thats probably a blessing in disguise but I do have to question why this game of all games was picked when they knew full well multiplayer was off the table.

I followed the development of this game across multiple issues of GamePro, and was so hot & heavy to play it when it came out. I loved how it reconceptualized the typical fighting game controller design. Of course, everyone else who played it was all "Why isn't this like Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat/Samurai Showdown?" so I never found anyone else to play it with. Oh well. I still love everything about it.
