Max Warrior (aka Isolated Warrior in the west) is a
3D/isometric shooter by Kid and published by
Vap. The player takes control of Max Maverick,
a lone warrior on a mission to save his native world from a
ruthless alien invasion. Everyone has evacuated the planet but
Max believes he can penetrate the enemy lines and overcome
the aggressive incursion despite the overwhelming odds against him...
Max has two mains weapons at his
disposal; the first is a Focusing Laser (L) that shoots forward and back
at the same time, and the second is a Spread gun (W) that shoots in
multiple directions at once (The player switches weapons
by pressing 'Select' at any time during the game).
Our warrior can also throw bombs in a close vicinity while
performing double-jumps. Items scattered throughout the game increase
the power of the bombs or any of the main weapons up to five times.
Other special items activate protective barriers,
speed ups, health modules or bonus points.
Finally, Max doesn't always fight on foot and is
just as keen to ride into battle - some levels enable him to
fly a futuristic hover-bike and a fast hovercraft. Max Warrior
features six stages (and an unlockable bonus stage) and
a password system allows the player to pick up and continue his game
at a later time.

Waoow, Max Warrior is a tough game to crack...
The first thing that bugs me is the way how Max's
laser is not fully aligned with the isometric perspective. This
is particularly annoying and you often end up missing
your targets - same for the blurry item pick-up detection,
you can walk over an item and still miss it. Also, the
gun really feels sluggish and hammering the button
doesn't really increase the rate of fire.
Despite these irritating flaws, Max Warrior manages
to pull you in and keep you busy for quite some time.
Stages are extremely varied with a fair number of different
environments and enemies. Bosses are also amazing and
become more outlandishly impressive as the game progresses.
