    Perhaps the best Sega Master System game ever made

    Cloud Master is probably my favorite Sega Master System game of all time and at the same time, it could be underwhelming to big shooter fans. I mean, it plays like a lot of games of this time, but for me what really sets it apart is the aesthetic presentation of the game. Although it came out for many different systems, the master system really makes the games graphical style shine. It takes from Chinese mythology and... is probably vaguely racist but as a gaijin, I can't really tell. Plus who really cares all that much about a racist game that the western world almost knew nothing about.

    The controls are fantastic, the graphics are incredible and the sound, although grating due to the primitive soundchip, is functionably catchy. I would say the only annoying thing about the game in my opinion, is the difficulty, it's unrelentingly hard. Otherwise, this is a classic, a true 8-bit masterpiece for the master system.
