Aside from the fact that your character was a woman there was little to differentiate this title from any of the other platformers on the Genesis. It’s basically a female version of Shinobi and it’s sequels. You can jump, throw boomerangs, do magic, etc.
The story takes place in New York City in 1928. Basically the Empire State Building is nearing completion and a crazy guy named Henry plans to use it as a temple to an evil God named Hastur. You set out to kill Henry and his minions.
The sprites look nice. They are very detailed and animated but get lost in a cluttered background. The game play gets repetative and predictable. The American-Box art is terrible but the music is good.
The good news is if you pick up a complete copy of this game you’ll have a case you can re-use for a game you appreciate more. The bad news is this game was made…
