ISOLATED WARRIOR (NINTENDO NES)

Isolated Warrior is a 1991 video game developed by KID and published in Japan by Vap, in North America by NTVIC, and in Europe by Nintendo. It belongs to the shooter genre, although its gameplay also includes elements reminiscent of platforming, while it features an isometric projection, similar to Sega's Zaxxon.

Isolated Warrior has received mostly positive reception from critics since its initial release; some drew a comparison to Zaxxon due to the use of isometric projection, with praise given to aspects such as presentation, visuals and frenetic action, but others felt mixed regarding sound, difficulty and replay value, while common complaints were aimed at the amount of flicker that occurs when too many objects are present on the screen. Retrospective reviews have been mixed.
