Shura no Mon - Famitsu's Worst Fighting Game

  • Three games have received the lowest cumulative review score from Famitsu Magazine: Pro Golfer Saru for the Wii, Pachinko CR Daiku no Gen-San GB, and Shura no Mon. I've already made videos on the other two, so it's Shura no Mon's turn. Is this the worst fighting game ever made?

    Shura no Mon: a brief animation test of an old man exercising that had a game attached to it

    There was a Japan-only PS2 release by Artdink called "BASIC Studio". It's a beginner's SDK for making simple games that seems to be inspired by the old Famicom "Family BASIC" in its approach and syntax.
    One of the included demo projects is a very simple 1-on-1 fighting game that Shura no Mon *really* brings to mind for me.

      Eh, it looks so dull that I think it would make for a dull episode. What's there to talk about? Bland characters. Bland designs. Bland sound. Bland gameplay. That sort of mediocrity is absolute torture to try to discuss in a way which isn't also totally bland.

    I've noticed Famitsu reviewers tend to give higher scores to RPGs/adventure games and such on average; I guess that's in part because of the Dragon Quest/Portopia craze in the 80s. As for Shura no Mon, it looks... very samey? Looks like an alpha version of the game, and maybe it was. Still probably wouldn't play this one, but I've definitely seen worse, hahah.

    Here it is! The most notorious of the three 12/40 lords. For my money, *The Master’s Fighter* from Cinema Supply (1997) remains the worst fighting game on the original PlayStation, and possibly on any hardware. I think the closest game to what Shura no Mon _attempted_ (but better implemented) was Savaki on the Saturn, followed by SNK’s Buriki One.

    "Two minutes of an old man doing stretching exercises"... It's been at least 20 years since I last practiced, but I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a Karate kata of some sort. I recognize a lot of the motions he does, my sensei from back in the day drilled this stuff into our heads.

    The fact that it's boring is the key element of its badness, I think. Yeah, the worst rated games aren't catastrophic because at least those games have something to talk about. They're often more ambitious or novel. The worst games aren't the ones that sit at the absolute bottom, they're the ones that are bad and also boring. The un-games.

    You know, for a fighting game that felt like an unfinished prototype...
    This intro was rather interesting compare to the King of Fighters Neowave's intro (also the game that felt like an unfinished prototype that never got past it's location test, not actually releasing it).
    That game has got to be the lamest intros for a fighting game ever and that says something coming from the person who loves fighting games myself.

    Famitsu's worst reviewed games being incredibly bland, short and wastes of time deemed to be forgotten seems like a respectable approach. Sure buggy games or triple AAA promises that aren't delivered may be the internet's definition of worst, but something incredibly forgettable, or so short that it feels like you got robbed, seems to me like a better metric for worst.

    That said, Shura no Mon is just a generic fighter with nothing special, though of the worst 3 games reviewed by Famitsu, this one fell into the middle.
