Time Bokan Series: Bokan Desuyo

About

Time Bokan Series: Bokan Desuyo is a side-scrolling shooter built around the Time Bokan anime universe. Players guide a team through increasingly intense levels filled with enemies and destructible environments. The action focuses on rapid fire mechanics and power-up collection as you progress through stages. Direct controls and a steady flow of boss encounters keep the pace high. This sequel builds on the 1997 release Bokan to Ippatsu! Doronbo with refined level design and expanded weapon options. Single-player only structure emphasizes straightforward action over complex systems. Launched in March 1998 for PlayStation, the game retains the bright visuals and energetic tone of its source material. Developer Eleven balances simplicity with enough variety to maintain interest across multiple playthroughs. While not impressive by modern standards, it holds up as a competent entry in late-90s arcade-style shooters. The game's charm comes from recognizable characters and the fast-moving combat that rewards quick reflexes. With no online features or long-term goals, it delivers a short but punchy experience best suited for nostalgic fans of the franchise.
