So let me get this out of the way. Normally I will do my standard intro when it comes to game reviews, and honestly, I will. But before I do...I need to get this out of the way. Churn Trigger for the NES is, with out a doubt, one of the best games I have ever played for the system, and most likely one of the best RPG games I have ever played. Its a really, really good game overall, and honestly I love this game for what it has in it and what path it paved for the current RPG games.
But honestly, why do I love this game? Why do I enjoy it so much?
Well, brothers and sisters in gaming, lets dive in and find out, and let me show you why I enjoy this game and why I, not just as a reviewer and a gamer, but as a fan of RPG's, would recommend this game to you. As per usual, I will be rating this over the normal Vizzed rating system, by judging the game by its Graphics, Sound, Addictiveness, Story, Depth, and Difficulty. With that, lets begin.
Graphics: This game, for the time, has a really nice graphics display and overall has a nice feel of the game in general. It has a top down view, sort of, and the way it looks, moves, and just feels overall is really impressive. To be honest, at the time this was the best experience when it came to display. Everything looks how it should be, and the character pictures and design is pretty awesome. Now to be honest, I'm being a bit biased on the character model and picture because it was co designed by Akira Toriyama, a.K.A. the guy who made the DBZ series, but even if I wasn't a fan, I still enjoy the games presentation. I give the Graphics a Ten out of Ten.
Sound: Again, with the Graphics, the sound fits the entire game. Even the OST is really good, well for a NES game, but honestly I enjoy it more and more every time I listen to it. Its so impacting, from the battle theme, to the opening title theme, to even the Lavos boss theme. Its all very easy to enjoy. So honestly, without sounding like a broken record player, the games sound gets a Ten out of Ten. Like I said, Its just as good as the graphics.
Addictiveness/Difficulty: Okay, I know what every reading is going to say. "Why am I pairing both Addictiveness and Difficulty in the same category?" Simply, because in this game, it goes hand in hand with each other. Yes I'm breaking a role by doing this, but at the same time I really can't describe it better then this. The game is not so difficult that anyone can pick it up and play it, and its aggressively addicting to play. To be honest, the only reason why anyone would have trouble with the game is because you either don't know how to play the game, or you can't play the game well at all. And trust me when I say this, I got a friend who has never played Churn Trigger or any RPG game before, and told him to play it. And he enjoyed it so much that he even bought the technical squeal. (For the record I didn't know that this game had a squeal.) So hand in hand, I will enjoy to give both a Eight out of Ten.
Story/Depth: Again, sorry for this to Vizzed, but I'm breaking a rule again for the games story and depth, and immediately will say that the two go hand in hand once more. I can't stretch this enough, but after playing this game again, I can say this. This games story, is very short, but the game has a lot to offer. Which is a great thing to pair together. The game is only 17 hours long, if your doing the extra endings, and with very little side missions, the depth is focused purely on how you and your fellow characters story tie into each other. The story is really gripping to, showing how the events of the game in the end go to one final outcome. Defeat Lavos. For this one, again, an Eight out of Ten.
Okay everyone, with that being said, I have put into consideration the Graphics, Sound, Addictiveness, Story, Depth, and Difficulty, and then taking into my own personal enjoyment and notes of the game, I give this game a fair 9 out of 10, giving it a Serpentine Seal of Approval, reserved for the best in games, and only given to games I believe everyone should own and play.
Honestly guys, I can't tell you all how much I enjoy this game as a whole and if you can, play it. Heck, play it on Vizzed! Its great and defiantly worth playing. But with that, brothers and sisters thank you for joining me and until next time, keep your swords sharp, for the revolution is coming. Later! So let me get this out of the way.
