Turtle Tale
SCORE: 67
Are you a retro gamer? Do you like playing older video games? Do you
wish there was new development on older systems? What about development
of older kinds of games on newer systems? That is exactly what Turtle
Tale is on the Nintendo 3DS.
This hand held downloadable only video game (sorry your family can not
purchase this game at your local video game store and support your local
community) is a new release done in the retro style. So do not expect
modern graphics or game play from Turtle Tale.
Graphically Turtle Tale would fit somewhere in the 16-bit era in my
estimation. Maybe as far back as the 8-bit era. You can look at the
pictures and make your own determination. We play a turtle with a super
soaker gun. That is what it looks like to me.
Our turtle character in Turtle Tale will shoot water at the other
animals. This will make them go away. Want to know something really odd
about Turtle Tale? Our turtle will lose a life if he falls into the
water. Yes our turtle is not able to swim. Which is strange since
turtles swim in water all the time in the real world.
There are five different areas in Turtle Tale. Players must progress
through them to stop the pirate monkeys. Turtle Tale starts really easy,
and gets more difficult as the players progress. Numerous animals are
used in the various areas. In fact aside from a change here or there,
much of Turtle Tale felt the same.
As far as side scrolling 2D shooters go, Turtle Tale is tame. We shoot
water at them. Hit them with enough water and they leave the screen. It
did not feel like killing to me. My problem with Turtle Tale is the
controls felt rigid. There are also cheap hits that will knock you into
the water. Which is an instant kill, and go back to the last
continuation point.
