Elemental Master is a top down shoot 'em up developed by Tecno Soft for the Sega Mega Drive and released 1990 in Japan, and in 1993 in USA by Renovation [1].
Gameplay
The game is autoscrolling upwards. The player can choose to either shoot up or down. There are different weapons ("magic") available, based on (naturally) the elements. Powerups are also included, where one for example creates two mirror images of the player, for additional shooting power (without increasing the hitbox). Of the seven levels the game has, the player can choose the order of the first four, like in Undeadline.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by renowned video game composer Toshiharu Yamanishi, who also worked on Thunder Force III, Thunder Force IV and Devil Crash MD[2]. One song from Elemental Master was remixed into a new version in Devil Crash MD. The style of the soundtrack is synthrock with classical vibes.
Reception
Illusionware gave it the grade A/92% and stated that "Elemental Master strikes the perfect balance between graphics, music and gameplay" and a "excellent piece of gaming history"[3].
