War Zone
TriaSSiCus
8 September 1998
A city block.
It's an ordinary street scene at first glance, but getting outside and going around the corner reveals a scene of mass destruction. A Cycloid Emperor has taken up residence in the central park and has been blowing holes in all the surrounding buildings. Several structures are nearly razed to the ground and are in the process of burning the rest of the way down, shrapnel and debris are scattered everywhere, and it's a total scene of destruction.
Aside from the emperor, the area is loaded with pesky liztroops that chip away at your health while you're trying to get around and collect enough fire power to take down the boss. Healing items are very limited, so it can get pretty sketchy at times, and care has to be taken not to rush headlong into an ambush.
The map is not very large, but sized for a typical end-of-episode boss map. Other than a few blocky structures it's well constructed, detailed, and shaded, so it has a nice presentation and atmosphere. More fun than licking lizards.
Overall I'd give it an 82
