Decap Attack Review pwolf
De-Cap Attack is similar to Psycho Fox for Master system and uses several concepts and in game mechanics and power ups from that game. For example you have the slingshot pole, can jump enemies into the ground, a similar bonus lever and have a pet skull which acts as a projectile which is analogous the bird on the shoulder in Psycho Fox. The story however is quite different, having a sort of Halloween ghoulish type of theme with monsters and mad-professors.
The graphics are average but quite colorful and the levels and monsters are quite creative. Its not stunning visually but then again who cares, game play is important too. The sound is very nice the music is dark and quirky and is really interesting.
The game is quite difficult. In Psycho Fox, one hit could kill you unless you had the bird power up, however despite you having more health in de cap there a many more monsters and the levels are more tricky as well as the bosses. This game is much harder than psycho fox and without save states is very difficult but this is part of its appeal.
This also adds to the depth of the game as you can acquire potions and some are quite useful, such as the remove enemies from screen potion ( found in psycho fox ) and the invincibility. The key is to know when to use them. There are also certain items you need to find in your quest which tie into the story. The story is fairly interesting but I wouldn't say it is very deep or engaging.
Overall I would highly recommend De cap as a difficult and different looking plat former. Do not expect to be coddled in this game. If you are a fan of unusual looking games and plat formers and you liked psycho fox you will enjoy this game a lot.
