DECEMBER 2017 UPDATE www.arcadequartermaster.com
This December, let the games begin with four shrines for obscure gladiator-based arcade games!
MUTANT FIGHTER: Data East’s 2D fighter with a mix of colosseum-styled wrestling matches for mythology and fantasy characters. Each combatant has unique traits, like the speed-based Amazon & Werewolf or the incredibly tough Golem. Beating the playable characters pits you against four bosses, including a mirror match. While these bosses have preset arenas, the best aspect of the game in versus are the special moves and the various battleground obstacles that could contribute to victory or defeat.
MIGHTY WARRIORS: Pitting together various cultural warriors in the collosal arena, with two variations per character type. On par with various SF2 clones of the early 90s, Mighty Warriors’ gimmick is the “Mutant Meter” which is actually the ability to play as your second chosen character for a limited time. The game plays more of a button-masher since all characters only have one special move: qcf + slash results in a projectile. Weapons also break once energy drops below 50%, which would put players at their own (dis)advantage in battle.
BLANDIA: Allumer’s sequel to Gladiator, it brings back a few familiar faces, notably Gurianos, Irrana and the final boss Gildus. Now with six playable characters with various special attacks, Blandia implements the armor system of the original game, wherein the helmet, breastplate, and shin guards can be destroyed after enough damage, making it a spiritual granddaddy for Sega’s eventual Fighting Vipers.
GLADIATOR: Combining beat-em-up and one-on-one fencing, Gladiator follows the quest of the Great Gurianos across four corridors filled with lethal obstacles and fierce warriors in order to find the treasure of the Golden Palace. Defend yourself from poisonous bats and flying swords before facing an endurance match against several opponents: knock the enemy’s armor with your weapon. Strike this open area once more and you claim victory -- the same applies to each of your opponents. The game boasts large sprites and some of the beta-style fighting games of the late 80s.
The next update shall be the last one featuring more fighting games (obscure and not) as the site prepares for some bigger shrines in the near future!
I’m also selling off some of my stuff / collections thru my ebay shop!
Death Brade - Data East Arcade
MUTANT FIGHTER - Briga de Wresting ao estilo Idade Média
Diversas franquias de games de luta se destacaram pelo combate corpo a corpo, como é o caso de Street Fighter e a fórmula clássica das artes marciais mistas, o polêmico Mortal Kombat com muitos efeitos de gore e desmembramentos, e The King of Fighters, com times, no entanto, teve um game que se inspirou em Saturday Night Slam Masters. Em 1991, a DATA EAST lançou Mutant Fighter, também conhecido como DEATH BRADE no Japão, e mais tarde, reprogramações foram feitas para os computadores pessoais SHARP X68000 e Fujitsu FM Towns, com qualidade que beirava à perfeição em comparação com a versão original de arcade lançada pela DATA EAST. Em 1993, o Super Famicom recebeu um port chamado DEATH BRADE, no entanto, com qualidade um pouco inferior, e sem cutscenes, dadas as limitações técnicas do console da Nintendo. Infelizmente Mutant Fighter jamais teve um port para PS1, o que é uma pena, pois o console da Sony tinha poder de processamento superior quando comparado com o SNES.
Comandos Básicos (Arcade e SNES)
A jogabilidade é focada em movimentação e agarrões:
Direcional: Move o personagem pelas arenas e aproxima dos inimigos.
Botão A (Ataque): Socos e golpes normais.
Botão B (Pulo): Usado para esquivar ou alcançar plataformas.
Ataques Especiais: Ao segurar o direcional para baixo e pressionar o botão de ataque, você desfere um golpe poderoso ou agarra inimigos próximos.
Transformação: Ao coletar itens ou progredir, seu personagem se transforma, ganhando habilidades únicas.
Dicas de Combate
Aproveite o agarrão: O jogo recompensa jogadores que usam agarrões seguidos de arremessos nos inimigos ou contra as paredes.
Gerencie sua barra de Super: Você acumula energia ao sofrer dano ou desferir golpes. Com a barra cheia e próximo a um adversário, você realiza um arremesso especial devastador (Super Throw).
Adapte-se aos monstros: Cada forma de monstro tem um alcance e velocidade diferentes. Ajuste seu estilo de jogo (seja mais defensivo ou mais agressivo) dependendo da forma que estiver usando.
