goddamn, i find myself amazed than exist people able to finish this accursed game and you're just ballin' on it killing the bosses without taking a hit...
While they are a very skilled player, I would imagine each of these took quite a few takes. I'm not sure if a lot of Chakan's bosses are even meant to be fought in a straight up / fair sort of way.
It's a shame this game lacks a lot of polish and balance that could have made it a true classic. At most it's maintained a small cult status, which deserves for its visuals, sounds and most of all, an incredible atmosphere with few other comparisons among games of the era.
I don't know how or where you find all these games for boss rushes, but I certainly like it, because I discovered a lot of hidden jems I'd like to play myself - and all thank to your channel :3
Maybe the roms, there are also videos where they collect all the video games released on these consoles. Not everything is a cartridge, there is emulation
I had a hard time memorizing this game, because I could have sworn, or knew that I seen this before I when I was little. I did watch my Aunt play game when I was little.
Este personaje merece una remake o un homenaje es un juego con una estética oscura y maravillosa. El comic es igual de oscuro. Sin duda The Chakan necesita ser mas conocido. Los arreglos del bajo electrico en el soundtrack es genial.
Please, namco bandai and miyazaki get your hands on the rights to this and make a soulbourne game. The story has written itself and would be putty in your hands to make a masterpiece
The comics were awesome but this game really did give me a headache with the scratchy sounds and bullshit bosses. Kudos the one who could tolerate this game to the end which is something I know I could never do. That ending alone would make me scream curses at the game. If I ever got that far.
This was one of those games with the most anticlimatic ending of the Genesis era, right behind Shadowrun. Except Shadowrun's ending doesn't sit you for 15 minutes.
@@King_Firebrand They were expecting a sequel and trying to connect it to what was happening in the comics, but both the game company and the comic company didn't do too well.
@@l0stndamned That's a shame. Title screen for the game looked fantastic, story sounded like it had potential, only gameplay and visuals are a bit rough imo. But would have been nice to expand the story.
@@King_Firebrand It's actually a LITTLE different than it appears in the video above: Shadow moved a few bits around. You actually see the credits after that "only now may I have my rest eternal" bit... but what's not obvious is that "The mocking laughter of the dark one, Death!" section only appears AFTER the completion of the credits - the game tricks you into thinking it's over, just as it did Chakan. Once that monologue is over, you go into the fight with Death, and what's not mentioned is that you get ONE SHOT to take him out. Fail and you get the worse ending (another single-screen affair where Chakan says "Rest will come another day" or something to that effect, but SUCCEED? Huh boy... Just... look up a video of the 'good' ending and prepare to be amazed at an early example of not counting your sequel chickens before they hatch. "Not the end" my butt...
@@YukaTakeuchiFan Just looked up the endings and yeah, but "good one" is a total joke. Waiting ages for a "not the end" while watching a sand clock... just wow.
They should create a remake of this game, one that has all the good things about it but without its mistakes, maybe even a new game to return to this more well-known character. If they did it could work very well as a Metroidvania or a Soullike
for such an intense action platformer, this game seems unbearably tedious, it's killing the nice fast-paced mechanics this game has and the bgm is really sickening after 2-3 minutes of hearing it repeatedly, making it hard to return to after you finish the game

"Not all evil has been slain!"
Chakan: *FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-*
The final boss in this is much more accurate to Gigers art than most Xenomorph inspired things in games.
i wish i could give more than just one like per days to you
i'm a huge fan of H.R Giger
It is
My god I rented this game so many times and I couldn’t finish it. Thank you I will watch this video carefully.

“The earth bug is trying to inappropriately touch you”
is basically that attack animation lol
while i know it will never happen, this is one game that deserves a remake!
It was planned to get a sequel on the Dreamcast but that was cancelled.
A shame the Dreamcast version got cancelled, it was looking cool.
The same amount of time that it took you to beat the game on hard is the same amount I spent on clearing part 1 of the spider queen stage. Nicely done
Oh I always wanted a All Bosses video from this game. Nice work!
Me to
this game uses the same engine than x-men clone wars
Yes! He moves just like Psylocke.
That game for sure reminds me of Dark Souls. The way how boss fights made in almost same way, and roll of the character also reminds me that.
Death must be a big HR Geiger fan.
God I remember this game…hard as hell as a kid, but fun once I a finally figured it out
Had the original cartridge when I was 7. I was never able to beat. As far as I remember it was super hard for me.

Such a cool looking game, shame it wasn't very fun to play.
They were going for goth aesthetics over gameplay.
Sadly
Dude I used to love this game back in the day. Dragon fly king was my favorite boss to fight.
Did you beat it?!?!?😮
I had a hard time memorizing this game, because I could have sworn, or knew that I seen this before I when I was little.
I did watch my Aunt play game when I was little.
Chakan rules, love the comics
This game is so cool, I just recently learned about it. It's like Iron Maiden album art come to life!
Huh, so that's what Cad Bane was doing before he got the Clone Wars gig.

TREMENDA VERDAD. Haría un gran metroidvania o un hack n slash.
@@SliatXD97 o un Soulike....

No gonna lie I thought your pfp was Chakan ever since I subscribed xD
Aaaaah Chakan, my guilty pleasure. Such a terrible and unforgiving game yet I can't stop remembering about it and playing it from time to time.
This game deserved a remake

Wow, you're right. This ending was lame as hell. Not even a single "Now I can finally rest", just straight to credits.

one of the most strange/bizarre games I ever played
I see where Cad Bane draws his lineage
I played this as a kid. I never knew I looked handicap playing until I saw this guy fencing.
come on man stop conjuring games into existence! seriously where do you find these
Came here to see how he beat the dragonfly king. It's that spot!!!
Awesome
I remember this game being really tough but most games where you can select the starting level are
The original Dark Souls.
I was always curious about this game.
Oh, so Elkenrod was the one, good to know
El papá de Nemesis, del Rebel Moon Zack Snyder ¡Hasta pelea contra la araña!
You Pop This Game If You want to be Frustrated.
Excellent gameplay bro 😏👉👉
I would love to play a remaster of this
Ah this game I remember downloading it after I beat ristar, that game was hard lmao
this guy is gud
Congratulations.It´s a very hard game.
This is the game that transcend you to godhood

Gives off nes godzilla creepypasta vibes
Cool
Final boss is made up of multiple Xenomorphs!
It's one giant Giger rip-off.
Yaaaaay. One of my most disappointing games I ever played. I wanted to like this game so bad but I just couldn’t stand it.
The overall aesthetic is really cool. It's a shame the gameplay bogs that down.
Honestly, the best thing this game gave us was the inspiration (design and story-wise) for Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series.
and Blasphemous
How hard is this game?
Hard to the balls
Controller breaker.
(cringe) Soulsborne-tier (cringe)
You will be convinced that you burned down an orphanage while they had just brought in some puppies for the kids to play with in a past life.
He looks like Stephen King
Tell me this wouldn’t work as a souls game

This music physically hurts me. GEMS was a mistake.
Music not really. Sound effects definitely.

Yeah its the sound design on the instruments
This game was terrible
