Ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk about an absolutely killer and great uncommon game that has escaped almost everyone's radar. AVGN and the top youtubers haven't talked about(thank goodness). And in general, this game has gone mostly unnoticed. We always talk about hidden gems and everyone mentions the same old tired titles, but never this one.
The game I'm talking about is:
Isolated Warrior
I first became aware of this game about 3 years ago when I played it at a buddy's place. Fell in love with it then, totally forgot the name, and went about my life as usual.
Then when S.C.A.T shot up in price, it must've triggered it in my mind. I actually thought it was S.C.A.T at first, but looking at the gameplay didn't look familiar, and I made it a mission to track down a copy. Fast forward to this Christmas when I snagged a copy locally, been playing it ever since and LET ME TELL YOU, THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
You want a great NES game,
Isolated Warrior has it all:
-
Amazing sound track - check!
-
Cool Ninja Gaiden-like cutscenes - Yep, this game has 'em!
-
Fast intense action that's better than S.C.A.T. - hell yes!
-
Massive Contra-like end bosses that look badass - Oh definitely!
-
Great weapons and sick level designs - For sure!
I mean check out these two bosses from the game. The bosses are so weird and freakin badass. It totally reminds me of Contra and I just love it! And what's great is that you have awesome chiptunes to listen to as you kill and destroy all those baddies!
I highly suggest everyone pick up and play this game. It's definitely an uncommon title and you don't want to miss out if it ever shoots up in price which I anticipate will happen soon. It's a travesty this game hasn't gotten more attention, and in my opinion, this game is much better overall than S.C.A.T, and we both know how much S.C.A.T shot up in price recently. And for how uncommon and great it is, it's the biggest current NES fluke that has gone unnoticed. I'm telling you guys, you will love this game. I guarantee it!
