Arcade version screenshot

The player controls Mike Chen floating on a cloud, maneuvering around the screen and shooting balls of energy at flying enemies. Powerups can be collected for stronger and faster firepower. Some parts of the stages have doors that give the player the opportunity to buy special bomb types with collectible credits. Each stage has its own mini-boss and main boss. The player restarts at certain checkpoints after losing a life.


Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Cloud Master on their August 15, 1988 issue as being the sixteenth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.[2]

Legacy

In 2008, Starfish SD, a company founded by former Hot-B employees, bought the rights from Taito and developed a remake for the Nintendo Wii. It was released under the title The Monkey King: The Legend Begins (Shin Chūka Taisen: Michael to Meimei no Bōken in Japan).[1] A Nintendo Switch port, titled Chuka Taisen, was released on September 6, 2018.[3]
