Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
The third game in the Ikari Warriors franchise is a bit of an oddity, and a disappointing one at that.
Ikari III retains the top-down view, but eschews guns and grenades for fists and feet, resulting in a weird beat 'em up that looks and plays an awful lot like SNKs other brawler, P.O.W. In fact, many of the enemies are of an identical design, as are the punching and kicking animations, all redrawn for the three-quarters top-down view.
Unfortunately, this is where the similarities end. While P.O.W. was a decent enough brawler, Ikari III is anything but. The game uses some kind of damage lockout system that renders certain enemies immune to damage for several frames after being hit, and the fact you can only take a couple of hits before dying makes the game ludicrously difficult. The flying kick offers some measure of protection by rendering the player immune to damage whilst airborne, but having to spam this move all the time makes things very boring indeed.
In another nod to P.O.W. it's possible to pick up knives and an assault rifle (with limited ammo) from defeated enemies. You'll definitely want to hang on to these for as long as possible, especially during the final level, which features a very strict time limit.
In a nutshell, Ikari III is a top-down version of P.O.W. with fancier graphics, but awful gameplay. I was thoroughly disappointed with this, and find it difficult to recommend.

Ikari 3 The Rescue shatters my expectations with Spectacular graphics and gameplay
The best of the series ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING
Shock troopers is also really good imho.
covers a kilometer in 5 steps. that's serious.
I still have the first IKARI WARRIORS on my
Amiga 500 - and it's brilliant 😺👍🕹️🕹️.
I had it on my Commodore 64 as a tape version, and it was cool, too 😺👍.
I also had its sequel, VICTORY ROAD on my
Amiga 500 - and to be honest,
it... was... bad 😿...
and frustrating 😾!
IKARI III: THE RESCUE on the Arcade looks awesome 😺👍.
And with two players at the same time...
More awesome gameplay 😺👍🕹️🕹️.
Also, that playable character looks like
John Rambo 😺👍.
Ari, that white haired enemy-were they trying to hint Dolph Lundgren from “Rocky IV” or Arnold Schwarzenegger?
I have it in spectrum and was genial...
Shit u had the Commodor 64 with the Tape? Took it ages to load
Their two best soldiers … with the thousand yard stare. Born to fight … because they cant be let back into civilization after what they went through.
Such a shame Ikari Warriors went down after this. The original will always be timeless.
At least they got a new lease on life in the Metal Slug series? Also did the intro say the kid that got snatched by terrorists belonged to a presidential candidate? Seems like they should have waited until after the election for the extortion to actually be worth something. "We've got your kid. Hand over all the gold in fort knox.....okay we'll wait until November and the results."
@@AgentofLADON the point is to make the candidate drop out
Ralf and Clark?
Let's attack aggressively
At that time there was no King of Fighters in plan. Later on, they were like "oh, remember that thing back then, let's pretend those two soldiers are..." It's just my guess.
@@dansmith1661 Lol, love the Contra 3 reference.
He has black hair in the game, but blonde hair in the cut scenes for some reason.
Noticed that 👍🏾
The cut scenes were filmed after the game was made and at that point he felt like a change
Both dye jobs.
He's actually a *ginger...*
That's why he's so angry!
Ikari Warriors Trilogy
Ikari Warriors 1
Ikari Warriors 2: Victory Road
Ikari Warriors 3: The Rescue
This game kicks ass
I was today years old when I found out that this game even existed. I thought that Ikari Warrior 3 was "Heavy Barrel." I had always believed that the franchise went as follows: Ikari Warrior / Victory Road / Heavy Barrel / Midnight Resistance. (btw, Victory Road is my personal favorite arcade game of all time. It was the first game that introduced a block function. One could actually deflect projectiles with the sword.) Did this game have the same round yellow rotary controllers as the other ones?
SNK mi amor 🙂
Looks like a Rambo Game they slapped the Ikari Name on.
A lot of these enemy agony sounds were used in Streets of Rage it seems
They probably did that because his hair clashes with the background.
Good playthrough AL even though you had resort to some cheap tactics to kill the tall enemies.
Rambo?
Нет, Зеленский 😄
Actualy, Zelenski is that hero...probably trying to defend against russian army.
Yes, don't you remember that time Rambo rescued Macaulay Culkin from a gang of paramilitary terrorists?
This is very similar to P.O.W. I know the Ikari series came first.
Rambo
@AL82 any chances you play Captain Claw?
isn't it too long?
thnks u...
Apocalypse Now?
Holyshit!Are they have no any weapon?No arms for fighte?😄
Ralf and Clark are the original Psycho Soldiers
I wonder why Japanese game characters' names change so much when they are exported to other countries. So they are originally Ralf and Clark, right? I remember someone calling them Paul and Vince in the American version. It's laughable, even, in the original Double Dragon in the arcade the Lee brothers' names were Hammer and Spike, as shown on the arcade cabinet. But as we know, their names ever since the home console version were Billy and Jimmy Lee.
@@claytonwright2416 No it's Bimmy Lee
@@niceguy60 Hah, good one.
Great عالی
pura!!!!!😅
This reminds me of the times I had to fight my wat out of Detroit and Chicago
It wasn't fun in the arcades.
Why
Dude go kick rocks
This game has a lot of testosterone.
