REVIEW | "Mostroscopy" | B3crew.com
Luchadors aren’t just professional wrestlers; they are also master entertainers. In the 1950s, it wasn’t uncommon to see a big, masked lucha libre starring in a movie, and that movie would normally be a mixture of sci-fi schlock and B-graded horror. Still, these films had plenty of fun with their story and characters, with the over-the-top silliness working well with actors who took things too seriously. Maybe it’s because of my love for these films of old that I have a soft spot for Oribe Ware Games’ Mostroscopy, a 2D fighter brimming with Mexican sci-fi horror spirit.
First off, is Mostroscopy a great game? Well…no, not really. This fighter is a bit bare bones, with there being only a story mode, an online-less Versus mode, and Training and Challenge Modes that felt the same as one another. Story mode is even a little short, with you only fighting seven or eight of the sixteen playable characters. (There’s also a final boss character, but he’s currently unable to be unlocked.)
