Perman: Enban wo Torikaese!! is an action game, developed by Tamtex and published by Irem, which was released in Japan in 1990. The game consiste of 6 stages.
Why It Rocks
- The controls are very good and responsive; in fact, they are as good as Doraemon: Nobita no Dorabian Night on PC-Engine, which shows how high the quality of the game is.
- Great graphics for a 1990 Famicom game, It's on par with Batman: The Video Game or even Super Mario Bros. 3.
- The soundtrack is decent, at least it's much better than the second game, which had an awful soundtrack, especially since that game was released in 1991.
- The game had balanced difficulty in the platforming stage; it's neither too hard nor too easy, and the boss fights were unbalanced in difficulty and even in general.
- While the boss fights are very difficult and luck-based, you can sometimes call the friends of either Perman or Bobby, and they can help you win the battle as some of them do a lot of damage.
- While bad, the boss fights are surprisingly creative for a platformer.
- The game is faithful to the manga and even the animated series.
- It's spawned one great sequel that is an improvement over this, including better graphics, better gameplay (in 2D only), and a bit more length.
Bad Qualities
- You can't fly, even with Perman himself, unlike the animated series and the manga; thankfully, the sequel had this feature.
- The game is too short, lasting only 30 to 40 minutes to finish.
- The music from the third level can feel like it's been stolen from Mega Man, particularly the Fire Man stage, where this music sounds familiar.
- Some levels are almost impossible if you take the wrong characters; it's mostly Booby that you have to pick when you have trouble with Perman.
- You can't play with some characters, such as Payan or Pako; thankfully, the sequel lets you play them if you want before you start a level.
- The boss fights, while creative, are luck-based, and if you lose at them, you have to restart a level all over again, which is not only frustrating, but bad overall. The same can be said for the mini games before them.
