Ghost Chaser Densei

Game Details:

Released in Japan in 1994, "Ghost Chaser Densei" is an arcade-style 2D side-scrolling action game influenced by classic action games such as "Final Fight" and "Metroid." In the game, players can choose one of three characters, each with different attack styles and skills. There are various types of enemies, and the scene settings are full of futuristic elements. Each level is uniquely designed, from city streets to secret research bases.

The game supports two-player cooperative play, and the combat system combines normal attacks, throwing techniques, special attacks, and energy bursts. It has smooth controls and a tight rhythm. As a relatively niche but high-quality action game on the SFC platform, it has gained a good reputation among fans with its exquisite graphics and solid combat feel.

Editor's Recommendation:

"Ghost Chaser Densei" is an underrated side-scrolling action masterpiece. Although not as famous as "Final Fight," its smooth combat rhythm, rich skill system, and diverse enemy design give it a unique charm on the SFC platform. The three protagonists have significantly different combat styles, and the two-player mode makes the battle full of changes and cooperative fun.

Recommended for all players who miss the arcade side-scrolling action games of the 90s. If you like the feeling of hitting flesh and the fast-paced side-scrolling, you may want to try this forgotten classic.

Game Guide:

1. Character Introduction and Recommendations:

• Densei (Male Protagonist): A balanced character with moderate attack speed and all-round moves, suitable for beginners.
• Ruka (Female Character): The fastest, with high attack frequency and strong combo ability, suitable for experienced players who like to output combos.
• Mugin (Robot): The highest attack power, but slower movements, suitable for players who like hardcore style.

2. Combat System Key Points:

• The combo system is similar to "Art of Fighting." Quickly adding attacks after a hit can result in a combo.
• Different skills can be performed by using the direction key + attack key, such as up + attack for anti-air skills.
• Each character has an energy bar. When it is full, a powerful special move can be released. It is recommended to use it in Boss battles or in a crowd of enemies.

3. Level BOSS Coping Strategies:

• The BOSS in the third level has a dash skill. It is recommended to evade it with a roll (→→) and then counterattack.
• In the fifth level dual BOSS battle, prioritize defeating the one with faster movement speed to avoid being attacked from both sides.

4. Completion Tips and Suggestions:

• Try to keep one life for the Boss battle in each level, and allocate the timing of special move usage reasonably.
• In cooperation with the two-player mode, focus on the combination of control + burst, such as Densei responsible for output, and Ruka for kiting.

5. Hidden Elements and Scoring Techniques:

• Some scenes can destroy background mechanisms to obtain hidden score rewards.
• After clearing the game, a special ending animation will be displayed according to different scores. The score is affected by the number of lives, the number of combos, and the number of times special moves are used.
