Yokai Hunter Shintaro

Fun action platformer with Mega Man style level select. The game is difficult with the samurai sword guy and much easier with the projectile gal. The only exception is the final boss who dies very quickly to samurai sword guy. Would probably rate it higher if the game didn't have such a difficulty disparity between the characters. Feels more like a balance issue than a skill issue at the end of the day.

Cuando empecé a jugar durante 30 minutos más o menos, me pareció un título increíble. ( y podría decirse que lo sigue siendo. ) Sin embargo, la dificultad es demencial y realmente me gustaría terminar aunque sea un nivel. Sólo una fase.

Es medio indignante tener que hacer una reseña negativa con solo 11 minutos, pero es que con eso solo bsta para darte cuenta que el juego es muy flojo y más que nada porque falla en lo principal: la jugabilidad, es horrible. Con la minita casi, casi que se puede jugar un poco más cómodo, muy apenas, pero el chabón es injugable, muy tosca mal. Una pena, porque lo veía con buenos ojos y tenía algunos dibujos copados. La historia también es extremadamente plana, no es que haya visto mucho desarrollo, pero con solo la introducción ya te das cuenta de entrada que tiene muy pocas ganas. En fin, una pena.

Вполне неплохая экщен-аркада в духе 90-х, вполне может хватить на вечерок другой. Но в игре черезмерно много обрывов, колючек, плюс вас персонаж отлетает от любого тычка, да и многие враги поставлены возле обрывов так, что бы сразу вас в него столкнуть, пока вы не запомните их наизусть...

Yokai Hunter Shintaro is a good casual Hack and Slash, fantasy game, now then the story. In a village deep in the woods an evil Tengu has stolen a powerful crystal that has helped bring balance between human and yokai, now it's up to its two protectors to get it back and stop the evil Tengu. So what’s the likes, the enemies and bosses are all really good they're all based off of classic japanese Yokai, they're all very fun to look at and if you know or just have a passing knowledge of Japanese folklore then you'll definitely recognize some of them. The pixel graphics is very good with a great use of colors and designs that does a good job in capturing the feel of an arcade game from the colors and designs for the characters, enemies and the world itself. The levels are good, pretty diverse with a nice set of locations from inside of a train to an ice covered village and a spooky graveyard. The gameplay is good it's your standard hack and slash 2D platformer, but it does have some things that help very it up like for starters you can play as one of two characters one is a guy with a sword that lets you deliver multiple attacks and a girl who has kunai that can be great for long distance attacks. You can also upgrade their move set and throughout each level there's these blue stones if you get them you can increase your health and there's these three statues that can allow you to perform special moves, I found that pretty good as it helped make the gameplay stand out a bit and after beating the game there are little challenge modes you can do. It also takes some inspiration from Mega Man because you can select which level you want to play in, also if you pick up an item and you die and have to restart the level don't worry that item you picked up will still be with you. The story is okay just your simple stop the bad guy and get the mystical crystal; I did like the ending as it’s a good setup for a sequel. The music is very good with plenty of nice tracks to just listen too. The price for the game was very fair. So what’s the dislikes, there are some annoying things in the game, one the game has knocked backs which can be quite frustrating when you're knocked into a bottomless pit. also the jumping can be a bit finicky sometimes, the best example of it is the cursed plains level basically you're riding a wolf and you have to jump past obstacles, but the jumping feels a bit finicky in that level as I know I dodge certain enemies and attacks but still got hurt. Also about that level it felt like bunk not only does the jumping feel finicky in that level, you also can't heal in it and when you get to the boss and if you die, you have to do that whole level again. I also wish there was a bit more to upgrade like maybe upgrading the sword and the kunai, also the game's doesn't really explain the power-ups or how to use the special moves you just have to figure it out on your own and finally this game really needs achievements. Okay with that said Yokai Hunter Shintaro is a good casual Hack and Slash, fantasy game, it has a really good enemies and bosses, very good pixel graphics and good gameplay, so if you're looking for a good 2D side scrolling hack and slash game that's cheap then I recommend getting this.

Brutal game, for a hard retro-like experience. It lacks some extra moves, binding options, actual tutorial... but considering the price, it's fair to post a positive review.

Nice and challenging gameplay in retro classic style. Most of the levels are nice and designed pretty interesting, and final boss fights also feel nice! Sprites are also pretty pleasing to the eye. About disadvantages (Only one) - lack of new skills that you can open for one out of 2 characters, and those skills are not that useful. Definitely can recommend as an enjoyable 2D platformer that perfectly captures the gameplay and style of the classics
