DJay 95 Plays: Finest Hour (Arcade) Longplay
3Hey players, DJay here with a new longplay on another arcade exclusive run and gun game, Finest Hour. Both loops are completed in this run.
Description of the game:
Finest Hour is a belt scrolling run and gun game by Namco released exclusively in Japan for the arcade platform in September 1989, running on the Namco System 2 hardware. No home ports were released, but was re-released on Nintendo Virtual Console in August 2009 exclusively in Japan and again on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch via Arcade Archives in September 2023.
Playing similarly in the veins of Namco's Rolling Thunder, Players take control of a powerful battlemech Sygnus, armed with a laser cannon that can shoot down enemies, a targeting system to shoot enemies that are locked on, and a Vernier thruster that launches it upwards. In the game, players must run across a short 4 stages and destroy enemies that come in their way. There are no power-ups to assist the player so they must rely on using every one of Sygnus' weapons to stay alive. There is no life guage, but rather a temperature guage that fills as Sygnus takes damage. Getting hit by projectiles or other hazards will cause the temperature guage to rise and can only cool down gradually when avoiding being hit again. Every stage has a timer in which Sygnus must clear a stage. If the timer reaches zero, the cooling system will be damaged and the temperature guage will not decrease and continue rising until the guage is full or if Sygnus clears a stage. If Sygnus' temperature fills completely, Sygnus will overheat and become unable to complete the mission unless the player decides to continue and use an emergency cooling system, but upon reaching the final boss, Gelphaust, they are not given any extra chances and Sygnus will be destroyed, ending the game. After clearing the game once, the player will start the game again on a more aggressive difficulty. If the second loop is cleared, the player is awarded the true ending.
Blast your way through the enemy forces and save the world.
