Two different games, well maybe not. These two combat games have the same
engine. They are both fighting games from ancient times, a one on one
duel.
CREEP CLASH
In the land of Eternal Night, where you find the creepiest things, there is
a leadership battle going on. Somebody has to open the Great Door to the
land of the living on Hallowe'en night. The contestants are Pumpkin Pyre,
a hollowed pumpkin that breathes flames, Lugtwig Van Vampirebat, a bat with
a deadly gaze, Frankenclod, a Frankenstein look-a-like with a rocket pack on
his back to allow him to fly and screech the Demon Spawn. All these
creatures are flying or floating in the air. You may choose any one of them
for either player. You can also practice against the computer. The
combination of the different movements, attacks and jumps are numerous
(if you do not want to destroy your keyboard, you had better have a
joystick). You can also choose from three or four points of view. The game
supports common sound cards and, quite unusual, a MGA graphics board. The
game in itself is not very attractive. The decor is almost nonexistent, the
monsters are too simple (an arm is made of two big pieces), but they are
well textured. Maybe it is this simplicity that allows the game to be fast.
SENTO
In the first age, Two Sento Masters forged the way of battle, honor of steel
and martial order. There are four players from which to choose: Buzakai
Kuragari, a Ninja Captain; Aughrax the immovable; SparickLath-Tow; and
Hoardos Korsh the Headtaker. You must prove that you are the best.
In this game the fighting area is limited. The players are on the ground,
and if you fall of the ground you will die. Parts of the battle grounds are
surrounded by a fence which restrains you from falling. Each fighter has
his own ground with his own decor and fence type. The game is slightly
better than "Creep Clash", but is quite similar in style.
I was quite impressed by the introductions of both games in which the
characters were presented. The smooth animation with the travelling into
corridors and rooms have better graphics than the game in itself.
CONCLUSION:
It is a martial combat game. The "Creep Clash" is designed for children (no
blood scenes) with Hallowe'en monsters. In "Sento" you can choose a violent
version or a no-blood type version. The game is simple but fast. I have
already seen better martial combat games.
