In the country of Brazil 🇧🇷, the SEGA Master System is still an active and popular console in their market. Games for the Master System are being produced and sold. A company named Tec Toy is developing, malfunctioning and publishing them. It is quite the rabbit hole of history for the Master System.
With that said; STAY AWAY FROM BATTLEMANIACS!!
It is a buggy mess. The controls are really fluid. Your character feels so light without any traction. The hit boxes for enemies are so bad. Especially for the first level boss. Your damage from enemies is game ending. You take a hit, there is no recovery time. You will be left vulnerable until your health is relentlessly depleted. The traps are too precise. When a fireball comes at you, it is guaranteed to hit you.
This game is infuriating to play! If you have the patience and will power to complete it, well more power to you. I can understand if you’re a Brazilian and this game is the only one you have at the moment. But, there are better games out there. Play Battletoads in Battlemaniacs on the Super Nintendo / Famicom instead. TERRIBLE GAME!!
