Gear Senshi Dendoh
Earth is invaded by Gulfer, a race of sentient machine bent on destroying all
lives in the universe. Two schoolboys are chosen by Dendoh, a giant mecha, to
fight Gulfer. They are aided by other characters and acquire more powerful
weapons on their quest to fight the alien invasion.
_GEAR Senshi Dendoh_ is a beat-em-up/ fighting game whose characters and plot
are based on the anime show of the same name. The first segment of each level
is straight 2D beat-em-up. The player controls Dendoh, fighting his way
through waves of evil machine, picking up weapons and energy refills used for
special attacks. Besides the normal jumps, kicks and punches, Dendoh can use a
variety of combo attacks for devastating effects, as well as grab weapons or
enemies as he fights.
The first segment typically ends with Dendoh facing a mini-boss. After
defeating it, Dendoh receives an energy refill, which is used in the second
segment of the level. This segment is a 3D “versus mode” fighting game in
which the titular mecha fights Knight GEAR Orge, (a second-in-command boss
that keeps coming back EVERY level) who looks very similar to Dendoh, and
carries an animal themed Data Weapon (e.g Unicorn Drill, Dragon Flare). Once
he defeats the boss, Dendoh acquires his Data Weapon, which can be used as a
special attack that hits every enemy on screen or a melee/range weapon to
fight Knight GEAR Orge in subsequent levels.
