Djinn nights

You know, every time a game is released in GOG a bunch of people come in and give 5 stars just for nostalgia glasses and some kind of support. Not me. I am usually very cold about the games I played 20 years (ouch!) ago, but not this one: Al-Qadim was, at first, some kind of rpg-lite made for PC, a kind of Zelda or Terranigma with more colours and clunkier scroll and movement, but it ended up being one of my favourite games. Why? - First: for the setting, a very beautiful arabian one, I think the only time it has been seen in a crpg. - Second: for the music, the best oriental-like one at this side of Quest for Glory 2 and Prince of Persia 2. - Third: for how very well written it is, as the plot is not only full of twists, but it is always a pleasure to follow. - Fourth: for the (linear) game design, so clear in its objectives. And - Fifth: for the mix of the four previous points, that makes this a very fun and sweet adventure. How I wish it had a second part and I had not to play it every two years to enjoy it again. One more thing (that I will add in the forum): there is one part at the beginning where you come back to the village to have a meeting. If the dosbox cycles are too high, the people used to get stuck. Just lower them to the minimum at that part if this happens to you.

A refreshing setting

Really, there are few RPGs set in an 1001-Arabian-Nights-style world. This one is a very light RPG, so veterans will be disappointed. There is a perfunctory character sheet, the main protagonist getting stronger with levels, and a few artifacts to pick up that boost your attack or defence rating. Apart from the name, there is nothing to customise. Rather, this game works more as an action-adventure game. And it's a magical adventure with surprisingly good writing in parts, one that will also challenge you. There are multiple resolutions of certain quests, and you can choose whether you are polite or impolite towards everyone you meet (though the former is always better). As for the gameplay, you have your trusty scimitar whose combat moves can be upgraded to add a second and third attack as you gain experience, and consumable artifacts that act as ranged spells. There are also potions to heal you and make you immune to certain enemies or attacks. Here I must criticise the gameplay because the controls are very clumsy. You can only hit your enemy if you are facing it directly, and sometimes your character will walk backwards, refusing to turn. There are also a few stealth sequences (with instant game over if you're discovered), which are horrible in this perspective because you can't see the enemy until he's several feet away from you. Other than those few moderate complaints, the game is quite a relaxed experience: no time limit, no monster respawns (except for one screen in the early part of your adventure), quite a few funny/lighthearted moments, and a chance to take a break from the standard medieval/fantasy setting. Heartily recommended!

Outstays its welcome

Al-Qadim is one of those games where the setting outweighs the plot. The plot is pretty standard - rescue your family & marry the woman you love, but the setting it takes place in makes it worthwhile. It seems Al-Qadim takes place in a distant past, in a world where genies are real, and if you're lucky enough to ensnare one, your family is guaranteed to thrive. Weirdly enough, it seems like your family's genie went rogue, attacking a rival family's ship who just happened to carry a caliph and your soon-to-be-wife, and it's up to you to discover who is behind it all so you can release your family from prison. It's an interesting enough plot to carry the game a great deal, and the game is extremely humorous, making the experience fun, but the game's mechanic just sucks the life out of this game. The Genie's Curse is one of those games where you have to save and save often. At first you're fairly weak and low on funds, so you can't buy too many health potions, making you die fairly often. It also seems that your presence attracts the various beasts & monsters that appear on the map, so trying to avoid them is fairly difficult. That is, until you encounter your first regeneration spot - a place you can stand on and get full health back. And shortly after that you discover a way of getting as much gold as you can possible want, making you able to buy dozens of health potions, just in case. You also get plenty of projectile weapons, some very powerful, the more you advance. So instead of using your sword, you can stay back and spam enemies until they die. It makes the game extremely easy. But if you didn't stock up on enough health potions, the game can become fairly difficult later on. The game's idea of a challenge is to send a horde of enemies your way, and to force you to constantly go back and forth to solve a puzzle. Wandering around aimlessly all over the map looking for something you missed was never a fun mechanic, especially when it is abused to such extent.

Durchaus ein verkannter Klassiker

Al-Qadim ist ein toller Einstand für die Cyberlore Studios. Statt die hundertste Pen & Paper-RPG-Umsetzung runterzurattern, traute man sich was und erschuf eines der wenigen Top-down Action-Adventures für den PC. Das Spiel ist auch richtig gut geworden und bietet abwechslungsreiches Gameplay mit schicker Pixelgrafik in einem unverbrauchten Kampagnen-Setting von Dungeons & Dragons. Ein paar Designschnitzer wie lästiges Backtracking, ereignislose Korridor-Latschereien und langweilige Pseudo-Bosskämpfe nerven zwar, trüben den Spielspaß aber nicht allzu sehr. Lediglich der unbequeme Einstieg könnte sich für manch einen als Stolperstein herausstellen. Doch es lohnt sich diese Hürde zu überwinden, um anschließend die Vorzüge dieses Spiels genießen zu können. Die 6 Dollar für die GoG-Version sind gut angelegt. Pro und Kontra: Pro: - Top-down Action-Adventure für den PC! - abwechslungsreiches Gameplay - toller Soundtrack, schicke Pixelgrafik - frisches Setting - kann man ohne Komplettlösung schaffen Kontra: - unbequemer Einstieg ins Spiel - trotz linearer Spielstruktur gibt es viel Backtracking - gibt einige lange Laufwege und Korridore in denen absolut nichts passiert … warum? - stinklangweilige Bosskämpfe, welche diese Bezeichnung eigentlich nicht verdienen

Aladdin Meets Quest for Glory

I remember my mom playing this game at least 20 years ago, and for the longest while I harassed her about "what was that game?" "The one with the genies, and the desert and the trials and stuff?" For years she could never remember it. I found it again here on GOG by accident and I'm so glad I did! The storyline for this game is amazing! The trials are a decent difficulty, and the gameplay is quite simple and straightforward. If you enjoyed Quest for Glory, Heroines Quest, Quest for Infamy, or Kings Quest, you will enjoy this kind of game!
