Personal review

"Sukeban Deka III" is based on the third Sukeban Deka highschool live-action TV show and manga. The gameplay is not related to Sega's Sukeban Deka II. It is an action game with rudimentary RPG elements in that you get xp for killing enemies and raising in levels gives you better attack and defense power as well as access to magical abilities. The areas of the game are either presented from a top-down view or side view. I didn't find the game enjoyable. Mostly due to the very repetitive levels, sub-average graphics and rather bad controls.
