Whomp 'Em is an action-platformer that was released on the Nintendo Famicom as Saiyūki World 2: Tenjōkai no Majin (1990).
+ Learning how to best use your weapons to safely pass through difficult sections is fun, and resembles the Mega Man series.
+ Being able to block overhead projectiles and strike downwards are brilliant mechanics that can really get you out of a pinch.
+ Level design offers a refreshingly unconventional approach and usually sees you veering in all four directions.
- However, each level is very short, with the side-effect that they don't build up to anything substantial or remarkable.
- Losing a life means having to restart the entire stage, which is frustrating when you die during a boss battle.
- Cycling through your abundance of weaponry is arduous and it's tough to quickly select the right one in the heat of battle.
