Microcosm is a Full Motion Video (FMV) on-rails shooter that was originally released on the FM Towns in 1993.
+ Intro cut-scene clocks in at a whopping five minutes and its high quality adds mystery and intrigue to the game's premise.- Action is brutally tough due to the twitchy, fast shooting enemies, as well as the lack of any difficulty settings.
- Your weapons are ineffective and severely under-powered, and it often seems impossible to avoid taking damage.
- Enemies typically enter the playfield from the rear, which results in a multitude of unforeseen cheap hits.
- The majority of enemy bullets are exactly the same colour as yours, making it a challenge to see incoming projectiles.
- Stage backgrounds are utterly drab and nothing substantial changes throughout each one to make it memorable.
- Stages are overly long, and although a password system is included the input method is obtuse symbols.
