Hammerin Hero Levels Preview

Kris Erickson • Jan 9, 2009 • Comments ()

Today, we got some information from Atlus about some of the interesting levels that players will face when the game arrives in March 2009. In his bid to take on the evil corporation, Gen-san will fight his way through such varied environments as a beach, the restaurant district, and a baseball stadium.

Beranme Town: You may feel at home pacing through this small village, what with the construction going on in the background (you do wield a hammer), but it's certainly feeling less and less like home for the hapless citizens of this small town. Hyosuke Kuromoku and his henchmen seem to have some schemes in play, and only you and your hammer can pummel them into submission.

Busy Crosswalk: These city streets are bustling with hurried pedestrians, cars stuck in traffic, and gigantic machines of destruction and doom. Wait, what? Look both ways before crossing the street... There might just be big trouble waiting for you on the other side...

Manly Amusement Park: Bright, cheery, and overrun with vile henchmen, the amusement park is supposed to be a fun place for families to spend time, but not when it's overrun by bad guys. Under such conditions, it's safe to say that the merry-go-round is going to be far less merry.

Oishii Restaurant District: Hungry? Care for a bite to eat? Well, before you stop for a snack, you're going to have to give the baddies who've overrun the local eateries and restaurants a little side of honey-baked HAMMER! How sweet it is!

Turukame TV Studio: Lights, camera, action, more action, even more action... Hey, wait you just broke the lights and the camera! How can your townspeople enjoy some fine television programming if there are henchmen marauding through the sets?

Under Fukie Bay: Anchors away! No, literally, swimming through the ocean, the best weapon against your enemies is actually an anchor. Hey, why not? It's metal, pointy, and hurts like the dickens. Just look out for sharks being ridden by henchmen on saddles.

Grand Slam Stadium: Batter up! Bad guys down! How dare they invade a baseball game? Don't they know it's everyone's favorite pastime? What nerve! When you're talking about taking blows to the head by way of baseball bat, it's one strike and they're out!

Seashell Seashore: My, look at all those happy people, what with their volleyball, surfing, sunbathing and the like. Too bad you're going to have to race through all the festivities on your mission to beat up a whole lot of bad folk. Looks like they'll have to watch out for sunburn and you!

Hammerin' Hero, the upcoming side-scrolling beat 'em up from Atlus, looks like a breath of fresh air for the PSP system. The Japanese brawler is deeper than your typical arcade action title. Over the course of the game, your character will trek through a mixture of highly varied and exceedingly unpredictable stages as he works to pound sense into an evil construction company, its power-hungry magnate, and its many nefarious henchmen. Your disgruntled employee hero Gen-san will have to use his hammer, his wit, more hammering, his strength, and a heck of a lot more hammering if he wants to liberate his enslaved townspeople. \n\nToday, we got some information from Atlus about some of the interesting levels that players will face when the game arrives in March 2009.
