When classic titles are announced on a modern handheld, you’d think shady developers working in dark and dirty backrooms are trying to make some easy money by making a port of the original game. Well, regrettably, those things happen pretty regularly. It’s a bit of another story With Devilish on the DS though.
Some of you might remember Devilish on the Sega Genesis (aka Bad Omen in Japan) or maybe the Sega Game Gear version. Both date from the 1991-1992 period and are classic Bat ’n’ ball games. Well maybe classic isn’t such a good call after all, because the gameplay is far off from the ever epic Arkanoid games who’ve set the mark in this category, but we’ll dive into that matter later on. The point I was trying to make is that Devilish on the DS is clearly based on the gameplay of the Genesis and Game Gear releases, but is actually a completely new game with a new storyline.
