Gameplay

edit

The player controls two characters, one an idiotic Japanese lord and the other an equally idiotic Caucasian prince. Both embark on an absurd journey around the world. Levels are highly stereotypical perspectives on various countries, where the characters defeat enemies on the way with melee attacks. The levels end with a boss, typically a person of high importance in the country. The final level is set in outer space where the characters defeat an incoming alien invasion. Both can transform into a highly muscular and macho version of themselves with significantly increased attack power.

Reception

edit

Electronic Gaming Monthly and Marca Player highlighted the title's humor,[3][4] while Hardcore Gaming 101 described the game as a "below-average clone" of Pocky & Rocky.[5]

Notes
