Elemental Master [Vertical Shooting Game]Potential Pros & Cons PROS: - Excellent visuals with detailed bosses - Great music; Not all too different from other Technosoft games like Thunder Force and Herzog Zwei - Seven levels to play, four difficulties to master - Five main weapons, ten possible attacks, four power-ups - Nice cutscenes to move the story along - Fairly uncommon (for collectors) CONS: - Should have been released in the U.S. sooner, better late than never - The game is relatively easy - Story could have been fleshed out a little more with an extra cutscene or level - Ultimate weapon is overpowered, final battle is a little anti-climatic Bel States:"Monsters and magic and fairies, oh my! Simply put, this is another quality shooter from TechnoSoft. It was a fantastic game when it launched back in 1990, but it may seem a tad bit dated to U.S. gamers who've played some of the great Genesis/MD shooters like Gaiares and M.U.S.H.A., released years earlier in the U.S. Still, Elemental Master has a lot of quality and appeal, so if you're a SHMUP fan and you haven't played this game, I think you owe it to yourself to do just that."Game Screenshots For Elemental Master Back to Elemental Master Review Back to the Video Game Reviews Page Back to the Sanctuary Entrance For more cool stuff, check out the General Gaming Interest and Video Game Scans sections.
