Item Description

Here is an NES action game with a spear that can stab straight down like the sword in Zelda II, a free stage select in the spirit of Mega Man and a hero who grows stronger with every boss he topples. Whomp 'Em came from Jaleco in 1991, got very little attention, and plays far better than its low profile suggests.

Its backstory is a fun bit of localization history. In Japan the game was Saiyuuki World 2, starring Son Wukong, the Monkey King of Journey to the West. For North America, Jaleco reworked the hero into Soaring Eagle, a young Native American brave gathering totems for his magic pouch, swapping the Monkey King's staff for a spear and redrawing the items to match. The design underneath stayed the same, and it is a sharp one.

After an opening stage you pick your own route through six worlds, each with its own hazards and a boss guarding it. Each victory adds a new totem power to Soaring Eagle's pouch, some built for fighting and some for getting around, and choosing the right one for the stage ahead becomes a strategy of its own. Gourds dropped by enemies permanently extend your life meter, rewarding a little extra exploration, and pickups like the Buffalo Headdress and Deerskin Shirt buy you breathing room in the toughest stretches. The stages are tight and quick, the bosses are distinct, and the free order makes it a pleasure to replay.

Soaring Eagle never got another adventure, which makes this cartridge a one-of-a-kind find. If you have already worn out the Mega Man series and want something with the same structure and a different flavor, Whomp 'Em is the overlooked action gem to reach for next.
