Mega Drive Longplay [273] Decap Attack

[@megspitzer9406]

Me and my mom remember playing this game years ago. Apparently, she thinks it's fun to play, and that Halloween is her favorite holiday.

[@MyStellarSpace]

That's sweet

[@Mel-xk9go]

Honestly, this game is underrated. It’s a very cool game who remind me my childhood

[@danielcastaneda1530]

This is actually a mod of another game. Magical Hat or Majikaru Hashito no Butsutobi is the original game (which it's a lot nicer, happy and colorful). I don't know why their creators decided to change it for a monster character.

[@chrissysonicutdrloz]

@@danielcastaneda1530 i read that magical hat was based on a comic or anime or something and they couldn't get the license for the game outside of japan, so they remade it with a horror theme

[@ToKyo-xw9sk]

@@chrissysonicutdrloz They could do a Psycho Fox 🦊 2… instead of Decap attack.

[@adammclaughlin845]

The soundtrack is phenomenal, surely one of the best of all time. The gameplay is addictive, exciting and frequently quite funny.

[@TheAxelay]

Decap Attack needs a HD/fan remake of some kind!!! Chuck D. Head is the most unique, intimidating and often at time the most misunderstood video game hero around who is sadly forgotten by the majority. His adventure is a zany, crazy and a memorable one with a slapstick kind of horror that anyone can relate too!! A guy trying to find a meaning in his own life and existence and who is sent on a at times perilous journey that is fraught with hardships on the way but with a promise of an ending that even Chuck didn't see coming but he would have to fight for in his struggle to survive?! Surely anyone can relate to that kind of story line... Regardless on how he looks, I relate to the guy far better than say Mario or Sonic. Chuck D. Head (incredible pun!!)/Decap Attack needs more recognition than what it gets!!! Luv DECAP ATTACK!!! A gem in darkness...

This is actually a very weird mod of another game. Magical Hat or Majikaru Hashito no Butsutobi is the original game (and it's a lot more colorful and happy). I don't know why their creator decided to change it for this monster character.

[@TheAxelay]

@@danielcastaneda1530 , yes Magic Flying Hat Turbo!!! It came out before Decap Attack which would've been 1990?! I've never finished that version even though it's kinda the same game! A remake for versions should be in order here!!!

[@fabioriato]

@@danielcastaneda1530 Magical Hat was based on an anime of the same name. Due to licensing reasons, it was converted to Decap Attack outside of Japan (as was the case with many games based on animes at the time).

[@lexcentrique2554]

@Daniel Castañeda This was an initiative to follow the current trend. Back then the concept of "attitude" was something that ruled as a master. Magical Hat had this cute aspect, but in the end, the USA believed it wasn't the greatest idea to release it that way. What they did was to reskin the whole game and thus create Decap Attack.

[@loneshewolf74]

My cousin bought this game when we were teens. Those critic guys in EGM Magazine had given it only fair-average ratings, but when my cousin and I played it we thought it was really good. You just can't rely on what the game critics say. :p

[@phantomzone2725]

Some of critics just complained because the programmers just recycled the Psycho Fox's mechanics and level design, but actually they were clever with the horror themes on this one.

[@greenkitty82]

Yes absolutely. Just go with your own instinct and don't let other people program a belief about something into your head. If you think anything looks good give it a go 👍

You better play the colorful "Magical Hat or Majikaru Hashito no Butsutobi" which is the original game. I don't know why it wasn't released outside for other other countries.

Wow in the end they turned him into the 2.0 version of Rocky from The Rocky Horror Picture Show! This little Hero has become the Charles Atlas seal of approval!

[@phantomzone2725]

Such a underrated game, should deserve much more recognition for being a decent platform game, though being sort of an Americanized version of Magical Hat (like the Super Mario Bros. 2 of Doki Doki Panic)

[@skar8009]

That mole boss is my nightmare, he makes the final boss look like he belongs to the first level. He is so unpredictable because you never know when he is going to lunge the rocks at you, and when he does, it is so fast that you barely have time to dodge them.

[@Sludge_Elf]

Super underrated game, loved it

[@jaredramos6223]

I never knew jumping on top of those red things gave hearts

I think most people in the UK have heard of this game due to the comic strip series in Fleetway's Sonic the Comic. I have enjoyed reading those strips as it has similar vibes to Count Duckula or The Trap Door.

[@cheesy713]

I thought the game was great in the past and replaying it again, I can honestly say I still feel that way as the gameplay is super fun and the bosses and levels are tough, but fair (with maybe the only exception being Boss 4, I hate that Coral Creature). I like being able to find potions, collect coins for the Bonus Game, and getting the Skull which you can use to damage enemies more easily. The game gives you enough to help you out without things feeling like too much, and even when you die, the game has a level select code *and* automatically lets you continue from the start of the Island you died on. Much better than games that would have you start from the beginning and not even have a code to use. I really love the graphics, gameplay, and music of the game so much, it's one of my favorite games on the Genesis.

[@VahanNisanian]

The AVGN briefly mentioned this game in his Kid Kool review. He said that this game and Psycho Fox are much more refined than Kid Kool, and also stated that the Japanese version of Kid Kool came first (which is correct. Japanese version was in 1988, American version was in 1990, a year after Psycho Fox).

[@phantomzone2725]

He played the game recently with Mike Matei

[@L2Nuku]

"Western and zombie themed version of the game named "Magical Hat no Buttobi Tabo! Daibouken" " Yup, just a reskinned game, but fun, Psycho Fox on Master System was also reskinned of the same game.

[@fabioriato]

It's beyond reskinned. The gameplay remains, but story and level design are completely different.

[@Sinasi08]

I prefer the original Japanese game called Magical hat turbo adventure if I'm not mistaken. I was playing it on my European megadrive with a Japanese cartridge adapter. Excellent game 🎮

[@UltraHealthyVideoGameNerd]

You think this game is tricky? The Japanese version is one hit deaths. Still a good game, but torturous. I can't believe you can take 6 hits before you die in this one.

[@fabioriato]

But you can collect lots of extra lives on those poles, which you can't do in Decap Attack (they'll give you health points instead).
