Fortified Zone is more Jaleco. Fortified Zone is more Jaleco. Fortified Zone is more Jaleco! Its design superficially resembles Metal Gear, but stages are broken up and the focus is on action. The puzzles never move beyond problems such as a maze in a dark room or a machine that reverses the controls. it’s nice to have something else to run through in under an hour.
Some notes:
- The music in the Cave is chill.
- When I use the flamethrower, the note that’s playing is sustained. It’s kind of hilarious.
- There is not one, but two visualizers for the Sound Boy.
- In the Japanese version, I’m able to type in a code for Chibi Mizuki but not Chibi Masato. When she’s chibi, all the bullets are replaced with hearts.
