Eswat

Wander around the eight-way scrolling cityscapes, dishing out murderous mayhem to a whole host of punks and their crime bosses.

What We Said Then

Jaz: After the disappointing Master System version of Eswat, it's nice to see that the Megadrive game is a whole lot more playable, with classy audio-visuals to match.

Matt: With its large number of moves and varied foes, Eswat resurrects an old formula and attempts to bring it to the 16-bit format; and in that respect it's successful.

What We Say Now

Jaz: It's getting on a bit now, but Eswat still provides decent and challenging blasting action. I'd only knock off a couple of percent these days.

Rich: I still like this game, and unlike a lot of games of this type, it is very tough to master. However, it has aged slightly, with the overall look of the game looking pretty dated. I'd knock the marks down about 5% if I was reviewing this today.
