Mazinger Day: Mazin Saga Genesis



Figured today would be a good day to post about this game, so here it goes. Its a pretty old game seeing as how it was made for the Sega Genesis way back when that was popular, this game manages to stand the test of time. For its time the graphics were pretty good, and even today the game looks fantastic.

Mazin Saga is a pretty straightforward sidescroller for the most part, its very reminiscent of Captain America and the Avengers, though you only control one character and it doesn't appear to have any co-op mode for it. The game's difficulty would be rated at Legendary, its incredibly difficult but like most of those old retro games, it makes you feel like you've put a lot of hard work into winning, so you feel like you did something at the end of the game. I can't manage to get that far though, but I have had fun going as far as I could in the mean time. Its very solid and its more fun than I ever imagined it would be, if you can get your hands on this, you really should.

The only problems that I find with this game is the lack of enemies that I can actually remember being in a Mazinger series and the fact that if you use your special you use a large chunk of your own life bar. The enemies look alot like the random enemies you encounter in Captain America and the avengers. As for using your special, theres no point since it just helps you die faster and it also seems to do less damage than just punching a few times. Despite these problems, I still found the game to be fun and exciting though.
