Krakens are some of my favorite enemies of that game.EB is memorable, but gameplay is trash outside Ness' Nightmare. I am not a rabid fan of EB.

The technique isn't bad, but I agree that the overall quality of it is a bit crude.

I played Earthbound recently after I beat it for the first time 5 years ago, which I loved. Now I have to say that Ihave to agree with you, it wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered it. Once you get past the wacky music/artstyle/writing, the gameplay doesn't make for a good experience.
Ness' Nightmare is probably where the game peaks.

In defense, you have to consider that you can make an enemy in that game only look so cool/detailed before it doesn't look like a Peanuts cartoon anymore, which is kind of what the game has going for it.

Yeah it's from Earthbound, what do you want a cookie?
Pretty much all of this.

So bad it's funny. Bloodlust was an indie developer, but it seems it's hard for west to get into sprites.
still had fun though
Time Killers is another game that looks like shit, Bloodlust-tier.
Why was time-travelling so prevalent in western fighting games? Time Killers, Time Slaughter, Eternal Champions, Savage Warriors, Time Warriors... and all suck. At least three have a caveman character with a dumb name.

Time Killers is a top twenty GOAT game at minimum
Also they travel in Killer Instinct 2
The spritework in Pu-Li-Ru-La is godawful but the game has enough quirky charm to just about get around it.

I like Earthbound but the gameplay is the last thing worth praising, I think how much someone likes the game depends a lot on how much they like everything else. It was also, rather infamously, completely fucking broken much of the way through development and Iwata had to reprogram it at the last minute and bail their ass out.

The style is strange, not bad. The characters are well drawn.
Happy to see that I'm not the only one that fell for the Earthbound is good meme.

Genesis version looks GORGEOUS. And sounds as good as it looks.

I think because most of them aim for realistic instead of anime/cartoonish. Mondu's Fight Palace (Tongue of the Fatman), for example, might seem bad on first glance but when you look carefully you can see a lot of effort being put into it.
