Budokan: The Martial Spirit (Amiga) Playthrough /The master was wrong, simplicity is the key for win

Budokan: The Martial Spirit (1989) by Electronic Arts is a game based on the idea of different martial arts clashing with each other in order to determine its most successful representative at a major tournament held in the so-called Budokan. This is the Actual arena where mainly martial arts-related competitions are held, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo. In the game, we play the role of an unnamed student learning various martial arts at Tobiko-Ryu Dojo, with the goal of winning the championship at the prestigious tournament held in the so-called Budokan. The game is composed of two modes : A)Practice in the dojo B) Grand tournament. In the first one, we freely move around the Dojo area consisting of four buildings and a mat in the courtyard. Each building offers training in one martial art available through our character in the game. This consists of Karate- which is probably the most popular martial art based on blows with hands and feet, but also grappling, although the latter unfortunately does not appear in the game. Kendo- a martial art based on fencing with bamboo swords. Bo - fighting with a long stick/ staff. And Nunchuck - which is popular thanks to the famous actor Bruce Lee, two short sticks connected to each other by a rope/chain. In fact, if you already know the game well, you can skip all the training and go straight to the big tournament. Before we set off to fight, we can still talk to the master, and in fact he only produces himself by offering us his wisdom, such as “Shut up, and go practice ” :D . Our master has quite a lot to say but I didn't want to hunt for all his texts so I recommend trying it yourself and “catch them all”. In the tournament we will face 12 opponents, distinguished not only by design but also by the martial arts themselves, to which as a player we do not have access. A little bit this tournament is strangely organized, because personally I have never encountered a case of one player using only limbs and another using deadly weapons. It's a bit of a stretch, but ultimately it works out in the game's favor because, fighting opponents offering the same array of blows and abilities would just be boring. During these 12 fights, we will be able to change our approach to each opponent, choosing from the four martial arts we learned in the Dojo. In a tournament, it is not possible to choose one and the same martial art over and over again, the one best trained by us. Each of the four arts is available to choose from only four times, so you have to manage them wisely. As for 1989, the game looks really decent and its soundtrack, although stereotypical, is really atmospheric. The gameplay won't appeal to everyone because it's not very dynamic, or even tactical if we delve into the rules governing this game. As befits the good old Amiga... we have one button at our disposal as standard. If we compare this to the number of blows offered by each of the four available martial arts, it can be a very overwhelming experience for people brought up on console games. Each blow here is delivered on the principle of holding the Fire button + one of eight directions or first holding one of the directions to enter one of several available stances and then quickly moving to one of the directions + fire. It's hard to explain it to someone who has never held a joystick in their hand. You just have to experience it yourself. Most of the blows the character throws are static, which means that he doesn't change his position too often, which is why the fights are ultimately boring and not very dynamic, in longer sessions with the game. Personally, I've always loved Budokane, as a child I was always fascinated by martial arts and the atmosphere of the Far East. I used to have the original, but unfortunately it got lost somewhere over the years. It's a shame, but what can you do? In general, Budokan: The Martial Spirit may not be one of the best games, but it can bring at least a moment of fun to someone who likes this subject. I recommend it, although with a pinch of salt, because it's not a game for everyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"
