Super Thunder Blade is a 1988 for the Sega Mega Drive posted shoot 'em up from the third-person and top-down perspective . It was one of two console launches in Japan. The game is the successor to Thunder Blade .
Gameplay
As a pilot, the player takes over the new helicopter called ASH-091B (nickname "Super Thunder Blade"), an improved version of the ASH-002 ("Thunder Blade"). Whose armor now consists of an aluminum - alloy , and he flies with a top speed of 841 km / h, the cannon can deliver 4,800 shots per minute.
The story is easy to explain: a renegade guerrilla army wants to take over the world . As part of a special unit , this should be prevented.
As in most games of the time, the game only ends when all lives are used up. At the end you enter yourself in a highscore table . Overall, the game consists of four levels , each with an intermediate and final boss .
Reviews
Except for the mention in ASM 2/89, the game was apparently ignored by the German-speaking fair at that time. In any case, the contemporary criticism is quite positive. The graphics and the sound were mostly praised, but the high level of difficulty was criticized.
In retrospect, the game is viewed more critically; the test of the implementation for the Virtual Console ( Wii ) from Wii Magazine 6/07 rated the game significantly more negative. Above all, the inadequate collision query was criticized, which inevitably increases the level of difficulty.
Remarks
The following real vehicles serve as enemy war machines: Mi-24 Hind , MiG-23 Flogger and Merkava .
