Clockwork Aquario (PS4, Switch)
Posted on December 14th, 2021 by
There once was a video game company called Westone that made a lot of popular titles, such as the Wonder Boy and Monster World series, and was even responsible for some of the Adventure Island games, too. But did you know their last arcade game was never released? It was called Clockwork Aquario and was supposed to be out in the early 1990s. But because of the popularity of one-on-one fighters and a low score in test markets, this 2-D action platformer never came out. Until now. Join a heroic boy, girl, or robot as they venture to an underwater city to stop a fish-man from taking over the world with his robotic sea creatures. Clockwork Aquario is available to download on PS4 and Switch, but reviewed on PS4 here.
