SEGA Genesis8.50
Overall 8.50
This isometric view Zeldaish like game is probably one game many Genesis owners missed out on. For some reason Sega let this franchise disappear, I dont know why cause it could be a very special franchise. You control an elf dude in green garb with a swordand he is followed around by a fairy. Sounds familar, except the fairy wants to **** the elf, the world is filled with sexual innuendo, there are whore houses, and its generally hilarious. It's like a parody of the whole fantasy theme but it retains all the elements that makes a great action adventure fantasy game. It has a large world to explore, lots of hidden secrets to find, towns to visit and some devilish dungeons. The dungeons in particular are very difficuly, often mixing puzzle solving with platforming elements. Action is simple hack and slash, its not like Zelda where you have multiple weapons to use. Because of this boss fights tend to be simple as well. Even with the shallow combat the game remains fresh cause the puzzles are very well done and the dungeons are freaking mazes. Its a lengthy game as well, it has all the elements to be Sega's Zelda.


Except some moron decided that platforming in an isometric view is fun, especially when you have no FREAKING SHADOW. It's so annoying to try and figure out what plane you on, what level of depth are you. So many dunegons are designed with rooms where you need to do complex jumps on moving platforms and if you fall it usually takes you several rooms back and you need to work your way all the way, probably making you do even more annoying segements in the process. It's way too annoying. I bet the majority of people that played this game have not finished it. If it wasn't for this it would be a 9 game.
