The story is told through still scenes and dialogue, and the production values of these sequences are pretty good considering the year it was released.ĭownload is a side scrolling shooter. What I can ascertain is that this game takes place in the future and follows a cyberpunk motif with anime characters fighting against an army of robots. I don’t speak or read Japanese, and while there’s a surprising amount of English text here all of the story exposition is in moon speak as far as my understanding goes. There’s some sort of story here but what it’s about is anyone’s guess. Keep reading this review to find out if it’s worth playing.

While it’s not particularly memorable, Download (now that’s an innocuous title) is a decent romp that’s good clean fun. From what I gather it has a cult following and is one of the many import recommendations I found during my research. Download was released for the PC Engine, the Japanese version of the Turbografx-16 console, in 1990. The subject of today’s review is one of these such games. North America got its fare share of domestic releases, but many of the best were left in Japan. The Turbografx-16 console was no slouch when it came to scrolling shooters of both the horizontal and vertical variety.
