Chakan

I first got Chakan when I was 13 and for some reason I liked it. It's not really that good and is nowhere near as cool as the underground comic-book it's based on.

As Chakan you fight through many different planes (levels) and baddies such as Dragonfly Kings and evil slugs while using magic potions you come across to give you power-ups. The levels are uninteresting, baddies boring and the fighting is quite simple and lacks satisfaction.

Overall it's quite a disappointing game considering how much potential the concept has. If you do like Chakan however, I suggest you track down the comics. THOSE are cool.
