The Amazing Spider Man 3: Invasion of the Spider Slayers [GB] - Real Time Longplay (No death)

This is a, no commentary, Longplay of The Amazing Spider Man 3: Invasion of the Spider Slayers for Game Boy, released in 1993. Smythe escaped from asylum and created robots to take over the city. It's up to Spider-Man to stop him.

The game consists of 5 areas, separated in stages. Stages are rather short and linear and game itself needs around 20 min to complete (if you know what to do). In most cases there is a boss battle at the end of each area (damage boost is the best way to defeat them). There are no secrets, hidden levels or NG+ mode (no replayability). Main screen allows you to start a new game and that's all, no settings, password etc. Enemies appear randomly from both sides of screen, creating some brutal rng's at some levels. There is a score point system but does not really offer anything. Spidy has a health bar and there is also time limit for each stage. In most levels, time is more than enough though. Pickups are orbs and there are 4 types, life refill (very handy), increase power/damage,increase life (take more hits for each health bar to empty) and temporary invincibility.

Regarding the game itself, graphics are acceptable for Game Boy and each area has its own music. Sound effects are basic. As for controls, LJN did its miracle again. These are probably the worst controls I have experienced for Game Boy, and I have played many... Unresponsive controls (there is 50-50 chance for a successful double jump), jump/land animations take lot of time to complete which is fatal as enemies spawn indefinitely and poor hit detection system. Add the unfair rng to terrible controls and you get a difficult game for all the bad reasons. Developers tried to add button combinations for web-throw at different angles, wall climbing, web shooting and swinging, but failed considerably.

In short, The Amazing Spider Man 3: Invasion of the Spider Slayers is a difficult and frustrating title due to unresponsive and complex controls. Most gamers will get discouraged within the first minutes, but if you are patient enough it is possible to master it. All orbs collected. No death run.
