Play Venus Senki - Back the City (Japan) [En by J2e v2.0] (~Venus Wars, The) Online
Dodge hoverbike missiles one second, then scramble your infantry into cover the next—this NES hidden gem keeps switching up the action on a war-torn Venus. That fan translation finally lets you follow the surprisingly deep story between all the chaos.
Venus Senki - Back the the City (or The Venus Wars, if you prefer) is one of those NES games that makes you wonder how it flew under the radar. You're basically thrown onto a war-torn Venus, hopping between high-speed hoverbike duels and tense ground battles—sometimes in the same mission. The controls are surprisingly smooth for an 8-bit game, though good luck mastering those hairpin turns on the bike sections.
What really hooked me was the pacing. One minute you're dodging enemy fire on a hover track, the next you're scrambling to position infantry before reinforcements arrive. The fan translation (props to J2e) helps make sense of the anime-style story, which is way more involved than your average NES flick. Just don't expect a cakewalk—some of those later missions will test your patience in the best retro-gaming way.
If you've ever wanted a mashup of Advance Wars and an arcade racer with a side of '80s sci-fi cheese, this is your game.
