Criminally Overlooked Games #8: Clash at Demonhead
30In this series, I hope to bring to light a few games overshadowed by more popular titles.
Instead of getting preachy, I let the games speak for themselves. These segments aim to highlight what makes these games worthy of mention, and hopefully a few more people will get to experience them.
--------------------
Ok, not really overlooked, but certainly not well known. Clash at Demonhead was a game that was passed up in lieu of other classic games. The Ninja Gaidens, The Marios, and the Megamans. Now it's consider a cult classic, and with good reason. What CAD offers is a non-linear progression action platformer with a goofy script and memorable characters, lots of stuff to find and a decent, but not unbearable challenge.
It's hard to relay exactly what makes this game great. It's more of a thing that you need to experience to really appreciate. The music is tinny but infectuous, the graphics are simple but effective, the designs are outrageously strange.. but somehow all this comes together to make a charming and memorable game.
I can't run out of good things to say about it, so just check out the video for a quick synopsis of what the game is about and pick it up some time if you can.
