Heavy Nova

The Good
The game starts with a fairly well done anime-style cinematic, within the options menu we have the possibility of selecting which level and what part of it we want to start the game. This gives us the chance to play the entire game without having to deal with its difficulty. Its main positive aspect is the inclusion of a mechanic in which after advancing the action and platform sections we will unlock new combat skills in 1v1 mode.

The Bad
Practically everything, the graphics section looks bad with basic sprites and overly generic scenarios, the animations are crude and with few frames which generates a rather unpleasant feeling of slowness. The sounds are scarce and of poor quality, the soundtrack, without being completely bad, has little to offer and falls into mediocrity. The worst thing about the game is its mechanics which are not polished at all, uncomfortable controls that take forever to respond, making combat simply a constant mashing of buttons without any type of strategy. The collision boxes work very poorly and in many cases it is extremely difficult to land a hit. Finally, the difficulty is excessively high, combined with the poor functioning of the controls and hitboxes, making this game an exasperating experience.

The Bottom Line
The game starts well with a well-done intro that reminds us of the great mecha animes of the time, unfortunately after the cinematic everything falls into disgrace. The graphics and sound section is bad, the controls have an excessively slow response, making the title practically unplayable. Although the idea of combining action and platform scenarios with one-on-one combat is interesting, the final result ends up disappointing in both scenarios. Another good wasted idea is to acquire skills as we progress in the adventure, without any type of indication of how to execute these commands it is indecipherable how to use the new skills obtained. I do not recommend this game at all, it is better to avoid it at all costs, without a doubt one of the worst games I have played in my entire life.
