The whole 3D aspect is the biggest change this time around.īad wordplay aside, this really does add a new dimension to the Cotton series. Cotton Panorama is more or less the same on a skin deep level.
You can read up more of this in my review of Cotton Reboot. Gems in the stages can grant lots of experience (yellow), or grant Cotton strong magical attacks or shields. Shooting and killing enemies grants experience, the more levels you go up, the stronger your attacks are.
So if you’ve played Cotton before, you’ll get the gist of the gameplay. It can be hard to gauge distances at times, and I especially had issues in the after stage Tea Time segments. However, very much so with the 3D nature, enemies can and will surprise you if you don’t know their patterns, from behind or in front of you. Much like other games in the shoot’em up genre, you can do just fine for the most part on playing my guessing an intuition. So then I decided to restart the game, pay attention to my speed, and then was doing much better. At first, when I didn’t quite notice that speed was toggled, I put the speed to max without paying attention and I was getting absolutely destroyed by stage hazards, running into them and all. You’ll get more points at the end of the level the faster you finish it, but be careful, it can make stages much, much harder. One of the game’s mechanics can even make you move faster, if it wasn’t smooth enough for you. There have been other games that play like Panorama Cotton on the Genesis, using the same style of shooter, but most especially from Sega themselves aren’t as smooth. Considering the Genesis had no Mode-7 like the SNES, it’s always impressive to see what can be accomplished by the right hands. These delicious Willows being burnt is something she just won’t stand for, so off she goes! Cotton in…THREEEEEE DEEE When they go to get that burnt Willow out of the castle, Cotton, as she does attempts to garble it up, only to spit it out disgusted.
Monsters have been burning Willow, and this has been causing all sorts of trouble. Silk, the fairy deduces that it’s from a burnt Willow. The story this time, has the queen from previous games acting strange, out of character. Panorama Cotton is a 3D game however, at least as far as the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive can handle without any funky chips. Same concept, but a little less insulting to my intelligence. Instead, they got a little creative, calling it Panorama instead. I am so glad that Success didn’t try and make a funny with the far too obvious 3D moniker for this third game in the Cotton series.
