This time around, multi-job slugger Gen dons multiple hats (literally) in an effort to push back an invading conglomerate trying to undermine the bucolic way of life in a small Japanese town. Doing so means fighting them on multiple fronts; as a baseball player, a deep sea diver, a ghost hunter, a... um, sushi chef, a... DJ -- yes, it's all insane, and that's a huge part of the charm. The bulk of it, however, comes from just how incredibly old-school it all is, right down to a difficulty that's certainly high, but never unfairly so. It's a distinction that few games these days actually understand and instead of piling on enemies that attack you from off screen or hit you when you're down, every single death in Hammerin' Hero comesfrom you screwing up.
