![]() Both players have a small life bar indicated by hearts that increases by one with each level that you complete. It’s fairly traditional in design, but this game uses a few interesting mechanics.įirst of all this game is HARD. Each level features a boss encounter at the end, but many have mini-bosses that you must defeat to proceed. Enemies automatically re-spawn which serves as a nice mechanic to move you forward, but there’s also a timer in place to prevent you from taking your sweet time. Some levels require you to move up or down with some minor sequences where the stage requires you to move left or right. You can move both characters in all eight directions and in most areas the screen scrolls with you. Both are armed with a projectile attack as well as a short ranged melee weapon (Pocky uses a magic wand, and Rocky uses his tail). You begin by choosing one of the two characters who are identical for the most part but have specific traits that differ from one another. This title is a top down run and gun style game. It’s up to Pocky and Rocky to face off against his army of henchmen many of which are based upon popular creatures of Japanese folklore. Unfortunately the latter has lost his colleagues to a mysterious masked demon who has used mind control magic on them. Pocky is a shrine maiden, and Rocky is a tanooki who belongs to a group of goblins (yokai in the Japanese version) called the Nopino. Pocky and Rocky stars the two characters from the title of this game. It might not warrant the high price but Pocky and Rocky is solid. This is just the type of notoriety that gets my attention, and after finally adding this one to my collection I have given it a spin. Despite this the game has attained a cult following over the years, and it’s often heralded as a hidden gem on the Super Nintendo. I’m sure the distinct Japanese flair also had a hand in keeping this one unknown. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of it this quirky shooter was up against some heavy hitters like Legend of Zelda and Super Mario World. ![]() ![]() Another lesser known release is Pocky & Rocky.
