Blaster Master Zero Reviews

I had this on the 8 bit Nintendo and this version is similar in every way just more challenging stages and some added puzzles that are not too bad to solve

This game was really something special. I just got the true ending, and what a great experience. Fantastic weapon variety and upgrades, fun platforming, the top down dungeons were a lot of fun. I look forward to enjoying later entries in this series.

Everything about this is spot on to the original But I only have one gripe... The music just didn't hit the way the Original game's did. Other than that I recommend

One of the first metroidvanias remade and rebooted into "Blaster Master Zero". It's rare seeing a remake of an 8 bit game to be.... well 8 bit, do I recommend this? Absolutely if you are intrigued over one of the earliest metroidvania series and have an enthusiasm over games with a retro feel to them. Since it's a remake it carries over certain stuff from the 80's original that would be deemed outdated nowadays. For example, as Jason you take fall damage very easily which can sometimes lead to early deaths if you aren't wary enough of how high he can tolerate heights. Certain dungeons lead to dead ends and you have to go all the way back to the start of the dungeon if you obtain an item which isn't that big of a deal but slightly time draining at times. Overall the controls were smooth, the soundtrack had that "Sunsoft feel" to it which inti creates nailed, and the story and characters were interesting and charming. I am definitely interested in seeing how the story and characters flesh out for the other 2 games in the "Blaster Master Zero trilogy". Additionally, the final boss was really cool and had a pretty cool twist which I didn't expect, make sure to obtain every health bar and upgrade in order to experience the secret area which leads to the true ending.

🐸 Haven't played the original, but this one turned out to be a pretty enjoyable adventure. It looks beautiful, has a great soundtrack, a classic simple story, and useful skills. The locations aren't empty or too huge, so it's fun to explore them. Despite the fairly quick dungeon clearing, a full exploration of all levels (for the first time & the best ending) can take ~6h. Not too easy, definitely not hard, bosses aren't a problem. Replayability is only in choosing to play for other characters with their own skills. Despite Inti Creates' reluctance to adjust regional prices, they make top-notch 8-Bit style games, so you can get them at a big discount.
