Publisher: Sega of America
Released: 1989
Cloud Master is a horizontally scrolling shooter that was first released in the Arcade in 1988.
+ Has a nice range of secondary weapons to choose from, which are unlimited and carry forward to the next stage.
+ Bosses have impressively large sprites and the between round cut-scenes have great artwork.
- Protracted stages wear out their welcome and there's no set pieces or level design shifts to keep you engaged.
- Checkpoints are too spaced out, and it can take several rounds before you have the ability to fully power up.
- Bullets tend to blur into the background for cheap deaths, and sprite flicker and slowdown also work against you.
- Pre-checkpoint guardians bore with their repeated attack patterns, and the game's main bosses are very alike.
