Kintaro's Revenge is a highly likable and fun game that adds something extra to the template of the forgotten genre, the sideways scrolling beat 'em up.

The backdrops, too, are marvellous and the ancient Japanese feeling is matched perfectly with a slow and unsettling score. Whenever you are ambushed, this is quickly replaced with an adrenaline-inducing rush of beats, and you'll find yourself dragon-punching in rhythm to the music.

Anime-style cut scenes with simple animation and written text help give Gekido a dramatic edge over other street fighters in the "Final Fight" vein. [Dec 2003, p.150]

A very underrated beat em up, this one adds elements like power-ups and the ability to explore different routes, it also has some nice music and cut-scenes, however boss fights are very unforgiving, the kind of game that doesn't let you **** up too much, don't play if you're a casual gamer.

In a lot of ways, Gekido Advance: Kintaro's Revenge feels less like a commercial product and more like a fan-made tribute to the genre of 2D beat-'em-ups.

It looks absolutely incredible - easily the best-looking GBA game yet. [Feb 2004, p.53]

All around there's just too much repetition in this game. It's fun for half-an-hour tops and that's it.
