Macross 2036 cleared:
.
Now that you cleared it, do you still consider it "meh"? I personally really enjoy Macross 2036.
Yeah I do. In fact, in some spots I think worse of it then before. There are quite a few cheap areas in the game that are not easily defend-able due to the color scheme of the enemies and how they pop up on screen. And you couple that with areas near the end of the game where they have you for brief periods trying to defend yourself with enemies posted behind you (especially when the screen scrolls in reverse), and this in itself will be a huge issue if you don't have the right special weapon.
The fact that it forces you to choose a different special weapon at every stage continue and start of every new stage I feel is still retarded as hell. To be honest in fact, you shouldn't even be having to go through all that bullshit to begin with. The special weapons should have just been dolled out as power ups during stages. I guess they wanted to copy Area 88 or whatever. Also, as bad ass as the last boss looks visually, he has only two attack abilities, robot snake thing, and nerve vine like things. The former can be pretty cheap since it will stalk you and its rather large and not always easy to avoid, while the later vine attack crap is super easy to avoid since it has a limit on how far it can reach. Thats what I would call a pretty unbalanced last boss battle.
I do like the music, along with some of the boss designs visually, and sound effects, but yeah, I still feel meh about this game. I'm not sure if I will play it again, or trade it off or something. It's like a C- title to me. Not terrible, but not great either by any means.
EDIT: I should note, it had been over 6 months since I originally played the game band posted about my prior experience. Due to that I felt I needed to give it one more go, so yeah, beat it on the 2nd outing.
