Our take on 暴れん坊天狗 & ZOMBIE NATION
Rather than presenting only one preserved version, the collection pairs the Japanese release with its North American counterpart and separates assisted play from original-style play. Rewind and saving sit alongside a mode intended for achievement challenges, creating a split between convenience and preservation.
What is 暴れん坊天狗 & ZOMBIE NATION?
This collection contains Abarenbo Tengu and its North American edition, Zombie Nation.
Both are side-scrolling shooters about fighting an alien threat and rescuing a nation. Each title offers two modes: one with rewind, quick save, quick load, and rapid-fire functions, and another that follows the original gameplay style. Both games include Easy and Hard difficulty settings, score and high-score displays, three save slots, manuals, and historical packaging and poster designs. Completing every round in the assisted modes unlocks a Special mode. The original-style modes support achievement challenges, while the collection also includes an on-screen achievement list.
