Could Stormlord be The Worst Game on the Sega Genesis?!
He has experienced Osomatsu-kun and endured the Sword of Sodan. Now Retro Nick resumes his quest to find, “THE WORST GAME ON THE SEGA GENESIS.”.
This entry comes courtesy of a comment from PC-Lord20xx, who claims that Stormlord is "guaranteed to disappoint you." For what it's worth, they were completely right, but not QUITE the way I think they thought they'd be... That's a mouth full.
Stormlord looks like the video game adaptation of a killer van mural from the 70s, but plays like The Lost Vikings if they suffered a stroke. Call your doctor if you suddenly smell toast during your playthrough.
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be defeated over and over and OVER again, and you won't have very much fun doing it.
I played this trash so YOU don't have to and sure-Stormlord is a pretty awful game, but is it the WORST game on the Sega Genesis? You'll just have to watch to find out!
