A contract of darkness has been signed with the Master of the Dark Realm in order to obtain powerful and destructive bio-weapons. Capture unearthly spirits and harvest their restless souls as nourishment for raising these weapons. Access your beast and weapon reference books to assist you in the creation and evolution of your arms. Travel five different areas--dungeons, labyrinths, graveyards, and others--hunting down countless beasts. The minions of evil are out to get you. An underlying question is why the Master is so eager to help in your quest. What are his true intentions?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Action/RPG for NeoGeo Pocket Color, February 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999 (Video Game)

Dark Arms (Beast Busters '99), despite the rather questionable name, provides a very enjoyable action/rpg experience (similar to, say, Zelda). Perhaps the funnest part of the game is 'growing' and 'evolving' your weapons. The graphics are excellent, as is the gameplay - although the game is somewhat short. Great for rpg fans, as there are very few rpgs out for the NeoGeo Pocket Color...

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for a trip but otherwise pretty dull., May 15, 2000

This review is from: Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999 (Video Game)

This Zelda type game has some really fun mechanics but wears thin after a few hours of play. There are not enough mix of guns to build or types of creatures to keep interest. Some parts of the game (like collecting the White Witches) are down right annoying. The Story is also insanely implausible. I do not know if something was lost in the translation but the voice acting from the original Resident Evil is more believable.

All in all, if you are going on a trip and want something to kill time this game is worth it. Hopefully SNK will produce more titles along this line but with a little more quality and no so much of a mangled story.
