DU SAU - A Falcon game by Foundation Two
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foundation2, especially Mad Butcher - greetz to him, see you at the next
jagfest - are known mostly for their atari 8-bit support, although they released
some nice Falcon stuff, like "Dryegg" or... "DuSau" - a new game 4 the Falcon.
Imagine small, cute pokeymonsters, like little pacmans and dragons, combined
with a very colourfull playfield... no, you are not watching your children
playing with their Gamecube, you are sitting in front of your Atari Falcon!
The game, DuSau, is a kind of cardgame, mixed with Minesweeper and two player
combat games. You can play it alone, or with up to four friends, which is much
more fun!
Every of the - yes, you counted right - 5 pokeymonsters has its own colour,
which is important for the gameplay as described below.
The game begins for each player in another corner or even in the middle of the
playfield. There are cards layed down, which are the playfield, you can move
step by step, card by card, 4 ways, up, down, left and right.
When you press your firebutton, you can look up the card, you are standing on.
It shows either a coloured arrow, or a so-called death-card. Your goal is to
find the death-card belonging to another player and so... kill him.
The coloured arrows show you the direction in which you have to go, when you
want to find the death-card for the player, who has the arrows colour. This
sounds and is pretty easy, but you have one other hurdle to take: Each player
who moves over a specific card, colours this card in his colour, e.g. red.
This card cannot be turned and looked up, until another player moves over it
twice, the first time another player will walk on it, he won't be able to look
it up and the red player, who fears that his death-card could lay there, gains
time, to make this card save again.
TechTalk: GFX: 35 % SFX: 60 % MSX: 68 % FUN: 60 % OVERALL 88 % (Multiplayer)
Conclusion: DuSau is a very addictive game, if you have some competitors around
you, it is a real party game and will provide yo many hours of fun.
Also the single-player mode is good for a play between work, as a
game doesn't take t oo much time. The graphics are nice and really
cute, although they are much below of that what a Falcon can do, but
for a game like this, it's enough, because the gfx are not what this
game lives from! The sound and music are in acceptable good quality,
but not my taste, as I am not a techno-guy, maybe you can choose
between some music files in later versions ;-)
On the Jagfest 2K3 Mad Butcher told me, that they released this game
to show their new game-developing tool and not just from that point
of view, it is worth a look, it is a really cool game, which tells
us again that our platform isn't death!
So my conclusion is, that this game should be in every Falcon
player's collection!
