EGG Elemental Gimmick Gear for Sega Dreamcast - Review | hungrygoriya

[@dezm101]

good review, dont think I have ever heard of this one. I like the unique art style

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you very much! The visuals in this game were something else. I never got bored looking around, especially in the outdoor areas!

[@azb0111]

I absolutely love this channel. It fills a niche I never knew I had.

[@hungrygoriya]

I'm glad you're having fun!

[@skins4thewin]

For me it fills the niche I always knew I had, which makes it even better 🙂 It's always nice discovering channels that focus on the exact types of games you know & love, as well as similar ones you may not have ever gotten around to.

[@SaadAzim]

Would you say the game had promise, but didn't quite live up to egg-spectation? :3

[@hungrygoriya]

That's just about right, yeah!

[@pretzelthedude]

I remember when this came out, but I never bought it since I had so much else to play at the time. Looks like I dodged a bullet thanks to your review. Certainly not going to go out of my way to go back and play this one LOL. I have no love for games with too many puzzles and hard to find openings to go through. Thanks yet again for another banger review, even if it took me 3 years to get around to watching it 😁. NGL, I wish I could just take a vacation to binge your channel from start to current, I adore how you think about games and explain mechanics and why you love/hate any given game. Stay awesome!

[@hungrygoriya]

If you're asking me, this one's a hard pass but I also know someone who adores this game a lot... I'd say give it a try and see if you like it, but it really didn't click with me. And thanks so much for your kindness. I love video games and chatting with folks about them quite a bit. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me here! And if you do dig deeper into the channel, I hope you like what you find. Enjoy the rest of your day!

[@ihaveallthecoins2785]

Great review.

[@leethompson-kolar6333]

I didn't expect a Dreamcast review from you. EGG looks super different from most of the other games you've reviewed. I like the aesthetic.

[@hungrygoriya]

I don't play newer games too often, but I have a collection that stretches from Atari all the way up to modern with at least a few games for everything. There might be a few more of these that pop up along the way. And yeah, the visuals were something else. I felt like they went against the grain of what kinds of games were being made at the time. I also love the aesthetic of the 16-bit generation and the the way all the characters look in EGG reminded me of that. It was definitely a beautiful game.

[@dmsparacording7983]

I sought out this title and REALLY wanted to like it, but the horrendous top-down perspective and ambiguity of plot turned me off. I sold it shortly after procuring it. Thanks for sticking with it, Hero! :-)

[@hungrygoriya]

I had to see it through after a point. I was in too deep!

[@skins4thewin]

You really ought to do a review for Alundra. It's a spirital successor to Landstalker (only much better) & would be right up your alley!

[@hungrygoriya]

It's on my list of things to play! I haven't gotten a chance to yet.

[@skins4thewin]

@@hungrygoriya You'll love it, it's an absolute gem for sure! However it is tough, so you'll need some patience. Some of the puzzles are doozies! I think you can handle it tho.

[@stoozdee]

Totally forgot about this game 🙌🏽

[@ThatOtherTom]

Making you beat 100 enemies in a row, just to be able to do your good attack without injuring yourself, is such an unfun game element. And the perspectives confused me too, it wasn’t always clear which areas were higher or lower.

[@hungrygoriya]

I'm glad it's not just me! I wanted to like this one so badly but I just couldn't.

[@KCastRetro26]

@@hungrygoriya I beat Egg a few weeks ago. I hear you on the issues, but it's still a good game. That NPC that you have to beat 100x in a row is actually very easy if you do it first thing at the beginning of the game. I did it after about an hour and a half. It was a drag but the item makes the game 10000% easier. I couldn't imagine trying to beat Egg without it. If anything, it makes you overpowered. Lol

[@hungrygoriya]

@@KCastRetro26 Oh man... I just couldn't bring myself to beat up that kid, buuuut I take your point. I know a few people that have a save right after beating that guy for future playthroughs so they don't have to start at the beginning of the game again. Those folks are smart cookies!

[@NorrinRaddIITurbo]

I always wondered about this game. The graphics remind me of Wild Arms or Saga Frontier. Probably not for me since I can barely keep up with Alundra but good review👍🏻

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you very much :) And oh man... Alundra's one of the games I've always wanted to try out. I hope it's better than this one by a long shot!

[@mmo4754]

I'm convinced games like this were made to sell strategy guides. It seems like a cool game that I would have loved as a kid, but alas I am now spoiled by the expectation of quality of life. In some ways I feel sad that I missed out on so many cool games when I had the ability to tolerate them.

[@hungrygoriya]

I can usually tolerate quite a bit but this game really pushed all my buttons in a bad way. I was pretty hopeful I'd love it but alas. That combat made me want to scream.

[@RetroPerspective]

I've heard of this game but never seen it until now. Seems well constructed enough but certainly could have used a little more constructive efforts. I think it looks great all things considered, shame I sold my Dreamcast. I liked your mention of the lightning in Final Fantasy 10, that was horrible. I am not joking when I say I was shaking and my head was involuntarily twitching to the side when I finished that nonsense.

[@hungrygoriya]

The people out there that love this game really love it, but I just couldn't get past the flaws that made the basics tough to manage. It's gorgeous and sounds amazing though... that part of the experience I was quite happy with. I played Final Fantasy X when it was new (I got it for my 16th birthday along with a PS2) and it was my first turn-based RPG. The first time I'd heard of such a thing as an ultimate weapon, and the first time I'd been thrown through a wringer trying to obtain such things... it's a much more fond memory for me since I fell madly in love with the game, but the Lightning Plains will always be this weird time suck that I'll think back on, scratching my head and wondering if there was a better way.

[@RetroPerspective]

@@hungrygoriya They could have made it less of a seizure trap by attaching it to a mini game in an alternate version of their initial dungeon mechanic. I remember playing the game when it was new at the age of 17. I loved it, and the Thunder Plains remains one of my favorite places. But after that mini game whenever I returned to the game I would intentionally let myself get zapped and close my eyes for the flash. I wanted no part of dodging anything again. In retrospect what I love about the game, despite a few superfluous characters and obvious crunch time-induced flaws, is it dared to make the player sad. Not only does it contain a number of core facets of a Shakespearean tragedy, but nothing good happens to anyone in that game. Few RPGs tried to do that before FF10.

[@tompuce84]

[@romanjackson5503]

Beep beep and boo

[@SlyBeast]

This is a sought after Dreamcast game and I never understood why. It's pretty terrible.

[@hungrygoriya]

It might be the same reason I fell for its traps... on the surface, it looks like a great action RPG until you actually start playing it, die every five seconds, never know where to go next and can't find anything. I'll be listening to this soundtrack into the future though! So good!

[@SlyBeast]

@@hungrygoriya I fell for it too but back when the Dreamcast was on the way out. It was really cheap - like $10 preowned - so I find current eBay listings for this game a bit humorous. The game is more frustrating than trying to fold a fitted sheet.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeahhhhh I definitely paid more than $10!

[@SlyBeast]

@@hungrygoriyaOh no!

[@hungrygoriya]

@@SlyBeast Oh yes! :)

[@Lostenoch]

Instead of an xbox 360 we had a dreamcast and this was one of my favorite games. It felt like being in those old animes like the og gundam.

[@hungrygoriya]

The story was pretty interesting, I agree!

[@alterego120]

I remember this game from looking at magazines. I love this kind of hand-drawn graphics style. Not many games like it back then, only Saga Frontier 2 and Legend of Mana come to mind. I'd love to play it today despite its flaws.

[@hungrygoriya]

It was honestly a very beautiful game. I'd say play it if you feel like it. I went in with really big expectations and came away disappointed, but I hope you enjoy it! There is lots of good in there if you can see past some of the frustrations.

[@HybridAngelZero]

I've gone for a long time not knowing much of anything about Elemental Gimmick Gear aside from its inflated price, and while "top down sci-fi action RPG on Dreamcast" sounds like a recepe for amazing, I'm disappointed, and glad I didn't plunk down $99 for it on eBay. This really feels like someone's first draft. The obtuse design and hiding quality of life features behind in-game achievements just screams inexperienced designer

[@hungrygoriya]

It really did feel like it had a lot of potential, even in the first hour or so of playing. It's a real shame that it wasn't able to keep on that path because I think it could've been something really amazing. Glad I saved you some money!

[@NickEnlowe]

I agree. EGG was overhyped for me and I ended up getting rid of it. I wish the Dreamcast had more RPGs, but sadly it was marketed as more of a sports/arcade machine.

[@hungrygoriya]

Agreed about the lack of RPGs on the system.

[@hansbrackhaus8017]

EGG... really? Lol. Egg... That said, this now reminded me of a kind of obscure Sega Saturn game that always gave me nightmares due to that flying poodle creature featured in it, with its dead eyes and strange gait and sounds. The games name is: Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari and I don't think it was released overseas. It's certainly a very interesting game, though. Aside from that horrid flying dog thing, ofcourse. Shudder.

[@BigRetroShow]

Great review! I never knew this game existed. I’m going tot try and cop it. Hope it’s not too much $$

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately it's quite pricey. That's also part of the reason I'm a bit grumpy it wasn't a better game. I didn't pay the going online rate, but I definitely didn't pay a few bucks either.

[@BigRetroShow]

Hungry Goriya I figured it was going to be pricey. I remember when most Dreamcast games could be had for a lot less! Times have change though!! I’ll still keep my eye out for it ! 🍻

[@Caspicum]

Watching you stream this was a rollercoaster. It's also mental to see a game that did whip posts worse than Secret of Mana... Hoooooooooo boy.

[@hungrygoriya]

I was consistently able to get over gaps in Secret of Mana at least... ha! And yeah, it was a tough time. Had I not been streaming it, I don't think I would've seen it through.

[@AL_Talks]

Me about 2 minutes in: This looks like something I would like Me 16 minutes later: Oh no.... Aesthetically this reminds me a lot of MOON for PS1, an anti-RPG on Switch/PS4/5/PC. That game has some fantastic puzzles and I think would probably be what you would have wanted this game to be. Probably

[@hungrygoriya]

I should really look into it then! If it's everything I wanted this game to be, I should've been playing Moon instead haha

[@jaysteelsun]

I got this out of a discount bin for $9 back in 2000 I looked it up on eBay just now and it's going for over $100 and I sold my copy forever ago.😑

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah, it's gotten quite expensive. I didn't pay quite that much a few years ago but it certainly wasn't a $9 bargain bin deal!

[@doug.navarone2037]

[@hrviews00magnaball]

Added to the list of games not to play... looks like a painful playthrough. Love the channel it’s great stuff!!!

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks very much! I think this is one game I'd be comfortable saying I have no interest in playing again, ever. Other than the visuals/soundtrack, there wasn't enough to keep me pulled in to want to play it any time soon.

[@Figment-]

I remember this being very very bad. Makes Quest 64, and Hybrid Heaven look like the greatest games ever made.

[@hungrygoriya]

I still need to try Quest 64 and Hybrid Heaven someday, but I think EGG would've been a lot better if I could've just hit something. Anything at all.

[@joeyarcade5865]

This isn't a RPG, its an Action Adventure and a very bad one at that. Controls suck ass in every aspect no matter if 2D or 3D. The story doesn't make any sense mostly due to the fact that EVERYTHING happend or was made 5000 years ago; borndays included of people who also was grown 5000 years ago. The sidequests are horrendous with no substance whatssoever and the NPCs lack soul and are expendable. And as for the OST its the same as Record Of Loddoss War: obnoxious, overdriven and uncreative.

[@Spark010]

Great review! Agree with all your comments. I did the 100 battles approach to get unlimited spins. It made the game a lot easier but I still gave up about half way through, mostly because I kept having to go over old ground and the game had stopped opening up into genuinely interesting areas to explore. I did enjoy the time I spent on it though.

[@hungrygoriya]

Oh man... how hard was it to get the 100 battles down? I felt like I would've been so sad if I'd had to start my counter over again :(

[@Spark010]

@@hungrygoriya I must have spent half a day on that part alone 🤣 even once I had figured about a reliable attack pattern, there was still an element of luck, me making mistakes and then having to start over again! You made amazing progress without unlimited spins!

[@hungrygoriya]

@@Spark010 Oh thank you! I assure you, the progress was hard-fought and came with a lot of dying.

[@PragmatikReviews]

The accuracy of that grapple shot saddens me. Too many puzzles!? well Professor Layton may not be a game for you. Then again that is...a puzzle game, where as this is something different entirely. Seriously though, I like the colors used in this game, but I can definitely see them blending too much to see what's climbable and what's not. Never heard of this one! Thanks for opening me to all kinds of games!

[@hungrygoriya]

I'm all for puzzles as long as they're not so numerous that they totally derail the flow of the game. I felt like they definitely did here! And as much as I loved the visuals, getting around was tough! It might just be me though... I'm not used to having multiple layers to have access to since I've mostly played 8- and 16-bit 2D stuff. You're very welcome, by the way. I'm glad I played this despite the trouble it gave me.

[@zxanatos]

Awesome review!!... still want to play E.G.G. too. ^_^

[@hungrygoriya]

I hope you enjoy it when you get there!

[@zxanatos]

@@hungrygoriya Thank you!

[@lyinginertia]

This game needs a re-release! preferably with the same visuals and all, just a lil more clearer!

[@hungrygoriya]

I feel like a little more polish would've gone a long way here. It has great structure and only needed a little bit more to make it fantastic.

[@Shamazya]

Seems like a neat game. Maybe I'll be lucky and find some mods or cheats to counteract some of those negatives. I'd definitely use speed up for some of it and have a guide at the ready.

[@hungrygoriya]

I think playing with a guide is a good idea, at least to find those very, very well-hidden things.

[@hungrygoriya]

No truer words have ever been said about this game.

[@DebugOctopus]

I thought I was the only one who ever played this.

[@yanbelmiro7961]

Wow, I'm surprised by some of the problems you had with this game, for me it had the right amount of puzzles, not too many, seeing dark pits and what you can climb or not was the most obvious thing for me. I agree with you about the Wired Arm but surprised that it was frustrating to you, since it never led me to fall or to receive damage from enemies and it's so easy to position yourself right for it to work that it was never a problem, and the moment at 6:16 just made me laugh because I imagined you in an infinite loop trying to get to the right place XD. Enemies do a lot of damage, so you should enter a room or climb and descend stairs already in spindash form to kill them quickly, since it only takes like 2 or 3 hits to kill most of the enemies, and the upgrades are basically rewards from exploring. This game is literally like a Zelda game

[@hungrygoriya]

Haha yeah, I know. I feel like a lot of my issues with this game came from the way I was playing it, which was mostly trying to conserve my health since I kept getting my butt kicked so much. I rarely used the spin dash attack since it seemed counterintuitive to "waste" health (there was no way in hell I was getting the eco spinner), but I think if I had relied on it more, it might've made the experience a lot better for me. And I was stuck going around and around in that part for at least a few minutes trying to get where I needed to go. Something about this whole game just didn't click with me :D I always really personalize my reviews too, so it comes across a bit on the negative side, especially when I struggled to get through as much as I did here. I've played a lot of Zelda too so I have no idea where my disconnect was... sigh.

[@yanbelmiro7961]

@@hungrygoriya ooh i see, you did not used the spindash much, I think you never noticed that it does more damage than the normal punch and it's a faster way to kill the enemies before they hit you. Just so you know, I died a lot in this game too XD

[@hungrygoriya]

@@yanbelmiro7961 Well, I knew it did more damage, but it also drains your health while you use it so I didn't want to run out of HP while killing enemies, you know? I'm bad for that in all games... anything "consumable" like potions or things that use up health or other points I conserve like crazy.

[@chaospoet]

I got annoyed enough to look up a guide. It said to fight that guy 100 times or else you'll have a far harder time. I got up to around 70 and it took so long I ended up stopping and playing something else and haven't returned to it. Visually it's great. But this was one of those games that taught me games that are visually striking and unique usually do so because they suck, are criminally unfair, are so puzzle heavy it makes you want to cry, or are boring as Hell and lacking in content (*cough* Gris! *cough*). I have such a distrust of amazing looking games because of games like this one.

[@hungrygoriya]

I had the same experience as you... I was so drawn in by the visuals and the general positivity online about this one, only to feel betrayed when I picked it up myself. I'm sorry that feeling has stayed with you for so long.

[@werewolfpit8141]

Yo need a guide to walkthrough, it's easy to get lost

[@wilhelmschmidt7240]

I had this, and it was pretty fun. The biggest thing I remember about it was the beautifully hand-drawn backgrounds. The old man's questions were definitely annoying, but I eventually memorized all the question/answer combinations

Did you end up grinding for the econospinner? I feel like the game would've been way better with that option!

[@wilhelmschmidt7240]

@@hungrygoriya No, I gave it a few tries but the 100 consecutive win thing was just way more than was worth doing in my opinion. I really appreciated the visuals they used in this game, but the balance was definitely off in a few areas.

[@TheRavenArchon]

@@hungrygoriya I got the econospinner. I would save my game between matches with the kid too, so I was running back and forth. It took a while to grind, but it makes the game SO much easier. Even many bosses become a breeze with this thing. This was my favorite Dreamcast game for a while, though, so I was pretty obsessed. I even beat all the race minigames, though that gave me anger issues by the end of it.

[@philmason9653]

I was a HUGE fan of the Dreamcast, and picked this game up on a whim during a summer dry spell in releases for the console. My regular shop had a cheap used copy, and it was one of the few games with 2D hand-drawn art on the system, so I gave it a shot despite there having been very few reviews of it IIRC. I'm sure it had a lot to do with when I played it, and the lack of similar Zelda-esque titles on the system, but I ended up absolutely loving it. I mastered the timing & angles on the stubby punch, explored every pixel of that beautiful world, and I have a feeling I might've won all 100 vs. matches as well. It was one of those games that left me feeling wistful at the end, and kind of sad it was over. Kind of like the Dreamcast, actually.

[@hungrygoriya]

Wow! I'm so jealous of your experience with this one. I wish I'd loved it more. It had so many beautiful aspects, especially those visuals. Thank you for sharing your enjoyment with me.

[@chutton988]

Action RPGs and overhead Action-Adventure games are often such fun, but this one sounds painful. Sympathy to you for fighting against that slow attack start up and the lack of a range weapon. Those failings remind me of the decency of Neutopia, where the developers are kind enough to give you a range attack very early in the game. Great video!

[@hungrygoriya]

This was a little painful at times, especially not knowing where to go next! The attacking was also really awful, and I kept wishing for some kind of magical upgrade to come my way but they never did. I have the TurboGrafx mini on its way whenever it becomes a thing and I can't wait to play Neutopia and Neutopia II. They seem a lot more polished than this game.

[@chutton988]

People throw down on the TG-16 Mini but I thought it looked quite nice. I have a gripe with Neutopia II that no one seems to mention: when you uncover a secret staircase there's no chime like there is in the original. It's an omission that just struck me as unpolished. They are both very nice pastimes and don't require outside help, if I remember correctly. Oh, and once you get the mini you can re-experience Ys 1 with updated graphics and sound. You'll love it! I hope you have a pleasant Boxing Day.

[@hungrygoriya]

@@chutton988 The lack of an indicator for finding a secret does seem lazy if they dropped it from an earlier game... that's unfortunate! I'll keep that in mind when I play though... I'm usually relying on that sort of thing. And I would LOVE to play a version of Ys 1 that did not make me want to tear all my hair out! Woohooo! Boxing day has been very relaxing. Thank you for the well-wishes!

[@hungrygoriya]

[@L2Nuku]

I understand your frustrations with some of the game mechanics very well, the combat is hard to master and i too died like a million times up to points of frustration, the optional minigames are very hard to complete, too hard even, but ultimately as a whole package i do love the game very much, especially the story and soundtrack. Btw did you know this was supposed to be a late Saturn game? They eventually decided to make it for the Dreamcast instead with hastily added 3d fights (the one thing i think the game could do without)

[@hungrygoriya]

I can see why you would love this despite its problems. It's such a cool and different game on the Dreamcast, and like you said, the music was really great too. I suppose I just enjoy combat that feels a little more natural. My playthrough would've been a lot shorter had I not game over'd so much! I did not know it was supposed to be a late Saturn game. That's really interesting... I didn't like the 3D fights much either and thought they stuck out a bit too far. It would've been nice to see more of the 2D style extended into that kind of gameplay. What a shame!

[@sirhcman]

Elemental Gimmick Gear seems like a game that decided to try to be too many things and mastered none of them. The different art styles and design choices seemingly clash with one another and make the game feel disjointed. The beautifully drawn backgrounds with what appear to be pre-rendered sprites really clash and then you have 3-D boss sections and shoot em up levels which are nothing like the rest of the game. My personal feelings about the game aside I really loved this review. It flowed beautifully and stayed on point throughout. You have really mastered the transitions and your editing is getting really good! Thank you for continuing to bring us great content and I look forward to your next review! :)

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you very much for your kindness. You're right though... this game really did try to be way too many things. I think it had a lot of potential though, if even one of those things would've been fleshed out a little more.

Damn. I've had this game in my Dreamcast pile for years thinking it was somewhat of a gem. I guess I owe it myself to check it out anyway but I'll be honest I think you've saved me a wasted evening. Thanks for another great video (and for enduring the pain required to produce it)

[@hungrygoriya]

I think it's still worthwhile playing it as long as you play with a guide so you're not wondering what to do next all the time. That was the biggest problem I ran into. And if you want to sink in the time for the ecospinner to have a fighting chance at fighting, of course. But you're very welcome! Thanks for checking it out.

[@MrSerpico145]

Pop it in for the music at least. It can invoke such a sublime nostalgic feeling.

[@MrSerpico145]

I'm so glad I passed it up back in the day, but I'm happy as a collector to have it for its music. Back then I would've felt burned, but something about the cover and screenshots at the time said to back away to me. Time Stalkers fooled me but resulted in a quick return. That made me more scrutinizing.

[@hungrygoriya]

The soundtrack in this game is hands down the best part. I really love the visuals too... but yeah, you definitely had the right feeling. Everywhere I heard about EGG online was highly praising it, and I fell for it... And thanks for the tip on Time Stalkers. I'll keep that in mind!
