Black Touch '96 playthrough
30Behold the strangest, most obscure and the most absurd Final Fight rip-off I had ever played in my life. A funny thing is, that just yesterday I found out about that one.
Black Touch '96 was produced by DGRM of Korea in 1996.
It's about two guys, who got to fight the gang to rescue a woman. I don't know their names not only because this arcade game is only in the Korean language, but also there are no names introduced at all. The only thing I know in this point is, that the first player is a street brawler and the second one is a ninja or some other Japanese martial artist.
Let's talk about the graphics.
A lot of things was ripped from the first Final Fight. Not only a lot of the enemies has the sprites edited from Final Fight, but also some of the background details was taken from the one. Even the first player's character looks like a Guy edit.
Also this game is from 1996, the late-middle 90s, but a game looks as, if it was made just in the very early 90s.
Now the game mechanics.
Not only are the moves broken, but also they are confusing.
You even have to be lucky to get the certain specials to work. I have no idea how to explain how to perform the certain ones.
From what I know, besides the punches and kicks the heroes have also: uppercut, fierce kick, super round kick, jumping roundkick, dashing attack and whole screen death moves. Jumping roundkicks and dashing attacks cost some health points.
The "death moves" require at least one skull to perform and... they do nothing else, but just make all enemies on a screen retreat.
Unfortunately the enemies with their jumpkicks can easily take your life. Also there are no weapons.
Every boss becomes a regular enemy after a stage.
Also the final boss happens to be the easiest one of them, but just defeating him first is not enough, because you have to defeat the rest of the enemies to complete a playthrough.
There are also the other absurds in this arcade game.
First, a timer is not going.
Second, there are no bonus scores after a boss fight.
Third, every stage transition has some random ecchi pic and even an ending is nothing else but just an another ecchi pic, which means there is no ending at all.
The music in the certain stages is just unfitting.
Summing up, this is an another one of the most absurd beat'em up games I had ever tried in my life.
