Japanese Community Battle Hack - Full Playthrough (Savestateless)

Hack played from February 13 - February 23, 2024

Japanese Community Battle Hack is a kaizo collaboration hack made by 12 members of the Japanese romhack community. Unlike other Japanese kaizo hacks, this game prioritizes shorter stars and very few coin stars, while still managing to keep the difficulty high. This gameplay style is already one of my favorites when it comes to kaizo hacks, and this hack managed to pull it off extremely well, setting it apart from other hacks that have come from Japan. This currently stands as one of my favorite kaizo hacks out there, and probably the best Japanese hack as well.

This hack effectively showcases the gameplay styles of some of Japan's best creators, and I didn't dislike a single level. This is my ranking of each creator's level, from best to worst:

Ura, Sill, Standback, ozark, YuKa, Tottori, Nuwitch, mokkyun, Mule, Kasen, Tenori, Stranger (Kappa).

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide a download link to this hack, as the project organizers had made the decision to not release this hack publicly, and to only give it to select players who were interested. While I wish the hack was given a public release, I respect the wishes of the creators and understand why they wouldn't want less familiar kaizo players to try this hack out and not enjoy it. However, if you are interested in this hack and have some proper kaizo experience, I would definitely recommend reaching out to the creators and trying this hack out for yourself, as I consider it to be one of the most creative and fun kaizo hacks ever made. Thank you for creating! ありがとう！
