The emphasis is clearly on the beat 'em up aspect of the game however, with your character being able to kick and punch in a variety of ways with special moves and combos that make the game similar to a Final Fight clone (except on 2D only), which is always a nice thing (it may be an old, recycled thing but it's still nice). Gameplay consists of you moving through the panels and frames of each comic in standard sidescrolling fashion and facing each one of your enemies in hand to hand combat as well as jumping around and solving simple puzzles a-la "place the crates together so you can get to the switch above you" etc. Unfortunately for our hero that means he must escape the comic-world by getting to the last page but he must also face the many villains he created and even more drawn from scratch by your nemesis, then defeat Gonzo the baddie at the end, save the world and get the girl (no I'm not making that up, there's obviously a babe and a world threatening situation to solve in this game, it wouldn't be a 16-Bit beat 'em up if there weren't!). Console Generation Exclusives: Sega GenesisĬomix Zone is your average 16-bit sidescrolling beat 'em up only with a neat twist: while many games count within their influences comic books and their related elements Comix Zone sets out to actually emulate the look and feel of a comic book by casting you as a comic book artist (who following the beat 'em up rules looks like a "Rad" twenty-something bozo and absolutely NOTHING like a comic book artist) that during a weird lightning storm gets thrust into the comic book he was working on and gets replaced by the main villain from the series.įortunately for us the villain can't just leave our hero to rot yet since he must destroy him first to become flesh and bones.At the end of each level, Sketch receives a super hero rating for how well he's progressing. The game progresses linearly through each page of the comic book, however secret paths and alternate routes through the story can be discovered. Button combinations can be used to unleash powerful techniques. Sketch himself can jump, attack and use various items that he finds along the comic book, including his rat friend, Roadkill. Smash enemies into the sides of frames, rip through the paper to unleash a super move and otherwise wreck havoc throughout the limitations of the graphic novel. Perhaps one of his own creations, General Alissa Cyan might be able to help.Ĭomix Zone is a side-scrolling fighting game with a difference, you're inside of a comic book and you yourself know it. Now trapped in the world that he himself created, but someone else is now drawing, Sketch must battle through the pages of his own comic book, and past his own creations, to a final battle with Mortus. that is until a lightning storm mysteriously brought his cartoon villain, Mortus, to life and imprisoned Sketch within the pages of his own comic book. Sketch Turner was a starving comic book artist, living with his pet rat Roadkill.
