Seisenshi Densho completed - micro review

[pixeljunkie]

I've been in a mahjong mood lately and have been trying to go through and actually finish some of the more long-winded titles.

I feel like I put about 15+ hours [maybe more] into this one and just finished it last night:

SEISENSHI DENSHŌ - JANTAKU NO KISHI




The story seemed to have some decent tongue-in-cheek moments from what I could gather. I felt like it was worth talking about due to the ability to switch characters and use special powers/spells in the middle of a match. Typically, in these games, you buy a power up beforehand and it is activated at the beginning of a round or under some condition around the end of a round. Just hit select during a round and you can switch through all the available characters you have in your party. Some have spells that work in-match and others you have to use beforehand. Puts a cool spin on things.



The graphics were really nice and crispy. It had a bit of a low budget feel which I have found most Nichibutsu mahjong titles have - even in the arcade.

It's def worth a playthrough if you are into mahjong at all. It's actually pretty damn easy as far as mahjong games go.

Gonna' go through the first Jantei Monogatari next. I loved 2 [both chapters] and 3 [they might be my fave mahjong titles on the PCE], but the first one is completely different.

Any other mahjong fans out there?

Pst, a thread does exist. It's been going for quite awhile but hasn't been active lately.

Hey all that matters is you're beating PCE games! Always a plus!!

Hell yeah, PCE rawks. I've cleared 4 in the last month.

Some day I'll learn mahjong.  There's so many of 'em, many with cool looking cut scenes (and tits!).

Ha!

I love threads like this—I might actually try this game now (I think I have it via buying cheap lots of games).

Almost everything Nichibutsu made looks low budget, jong or otherwise.

That one F1 game they did with the Lotus sponsorship was really good though, I've recently discovered. Pole to Win or something like that. While it's not realistic one bit (overhead) it catches the "mania" of driving an F1 better than maybe any game I've played.

Many Nichibutsu games (not just on PCE) possess a personality and have an addictive quality (for me, at least).

Hell, I actually like Armed Formation F (whatever the title is). Terra Cresta. Etc.

BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE MagMax most of all.

Exactly why I learned. Some of the best, creative graphics and cutscenes are in mahjong games. Mahjong Hyper Reaction 2 (arcade) made me get off my ass and learn.

www.mahjonginmame.com was how I learned.

Same here, though I'm not totally keen on Armed Formation F.  There is something about Nichibutsu games that tend to intrigue me!

Iga Ninden Gaiou is another one of theirs I keep going back to.

Pole to Win is part of the F1 Circus series. And I exactly think the same as you do about everything Nichibutsu produced.

Yes. I bought Iga Ninden Gaiou from some silly person who falsely called it a "Legendary Axe"-killer. Ha!

That's what you call a con-man.
That's what you call a sucker.

(I was the sucker.)

But, once I got past the disappointment (it ain't no Legendary Axe), the damn game revealed a certain charm and unique personality.

"Charming" and "unique" like a lot of mediocre (dare I say sub-mediocre) Data East games I love.

Nichibutsu has a place in my heart next to Data East.
