Gracias a therealflaws por recordarme que había olvidado la traducción al español, oops □Ĭomo recientemente revisé Battle City para la NES, a menudo conocido debido a su aparición en carros bootleg de NES (principalmente la Polystation, que es una NES bootleg con forma de PS1 con varios cartuchos en uno popular en América Latina), definitivamente se siente como uno de esos no tan populares pero muy recordados por aquellos que conocieron este juego.

If you want me to review more retro arcade games (or want me to check another hidden NES gem), let me know in the comments! You can also check some of my previous reviews here: If you already enjoyed Battle City a lot and always thought about how a new game would be, or wanted to have a bigger challenge to play with a buddy (or buddies), Tank Force delivers greatly as a freshly updated sequel from Namco with all the charm and modernization from their excellent skill for sprites during the 90s. It was still relatively lenient though (at least involuntarily), as being an emulated arcade game, we could just use Free Play to have infinite continues, but it definitely looks like a real challenge if you were up to use limited credits try a one-credit run. The craziest thing was the final boss however, as it consisted of FOUR moving turrets, so both of us died a lot there until we finally got through. On top of the benefits of having a friend to co-op this game, a certain version of this game (that sadly isn't in the Switch re-release) actually supported four-player multiplayer! I am aware that there are several Battle City romhacks out there one of which adds four player support to the game with multi-tap, but Tank Force definitely feels cooler in this aspect as the game is already bigger and harder, so having two extra partners will come handy.Īs I had got through the entire game some few days ago with a buddy, I could see all of the 36 levels the game offered there was one neat map that was a Pac-Man nod (complete with a hidden message from Pac-Man himself). However, players are now not allowed to destroy their own base walls, and shooting at each other will only push them back a bit instead of stunning them. With superior arcade hardware powering this game, there's a lot of colors and different settings for each stage, bosses at certain levels, and music playing over stages there's even a stage theme that starts with the Battle City's jingle into an entirely new song! While the addition of bosses and increased density of enemies can make the game much more challenging than its predecessor, all the classic power-ups are back (and now spawn randomly at any point) along with three new power-ups: A wave gun that can go through walls, a missile launcher that makes more damage to bosses (and one-shots light armored tanks), and a power-up that makes you smaller and faster.Įnemies will now always spawn from both the top and the side borders of the screen, and the assistance of a second player might be vital in order to avoid the base being destroyed. However, Namco made an arcade exclusive sequel to Battle City (only recently ported to Switch in 2017 as part of Namco Museum) called Tank Force, and it definitely feels like Battle City but with a lot of new additions and enemies, like fast cars that drop dynamite and huge tanks with armor. As I recently reviewed Battle City for the NES, often known due to its appearance in bootleg NES carts (mainly the Polystation, which is a PS1-shaped bootleg NES with several cartridges in one popular in Latin America), it definitely feels like one of those not that popular yet very fondly remembered by those that knew of this game.
