This game is what Black and White (1+2!) promised, but NEVER delivered. You literally can raise vulcanos or lower the land into the ocean, however you feel like! You can summon anything from fireballs to tornados or the angle of DEATH!! (swamp was my favorite^^) Simple RTS Elements keep a good pace and add more variety. Levels are challenging but fair and overall the game is epic. From the sounds, the graphics (and cgi!) to the simple but straightforward story. You start a shaman and become a GOD!!!! Damn it. Why cant we have those kinda games anymore!?
Ittle Dew (it will do) ... many ppl mistaken this for Zelda- straight forward IT IS NOT! "Oh how comes, did you even played it!?" - "Sadly, yes, till finish, to see if it has any worth..." "So ... would you care to explain?" - "*sigh* if you insist..." Gameplay: You come into a few 1 room caves and a castle with 3 dozen box pushing puzzles and that's it. There is an lousy 1 button mash fighting system, which you can use on like 2 or 3 enemy types... there is no (real) story or exploration... nothing creative to see.... you can beat it about 2hrs... no secrets - no NOTHING. The gameplay value is poor as you can get. Even the oldest games i can think of, have more depth to it than this... (old= PacMan, Pong, ...) Graphics: So why does ppl praise it than? - Simple: Because of its graphic style - they are nostalgic towards Zelda. That's it. Nothing else. They just see the pictures and think "that's Zelda (like)" -oh they just don't know any better. Can you base a game around its pure style than? ... Hack no. The first minutes you think to your self "really nice comic look" ... but after 20 Minutes you realize... that'ts it. You walk trough woods and the mentioned castle... hand full of caves... everything looks the same. Variety: -Are there desserts? No. Ice Mountains? No. Waterlevels? No. Rock plateau? No. Swamps? No. Mysterious Magic Worlds? No! -Are there any other puzzles than box pushing? No. -Are there interesting characters to talk to? No. -Are there like 30+ different items to use / combine? No. Sound: Nothing which stuck in my mind. Damn - everyone who grew up in the "(s)NES" age still can hum Zelda themes.... most popular soundtrack of all time. Would i remember just 1 note from this game, while threatened by death if i don't? ....... *R I P* Story: Okay, Zelda was quiet simple: Mean guy, Princess, Kingdom, Hero - gg. What you got here... Hero.... kinda ... but not really mean guy.... a castle? .... Final verdict: Buy "Shipwreck" or Original Zelda
To bad the game lacks German language in any regard... so thats -1 ... rest is ... doing fine 4/5 ABER wenn man noch die Original CD hat, kann man einfach den "Sfx" Ordner überschreiben- direkt von der CD ins Verzeichnis: C:GOG GamesDungeon Keeper 2DataSound... Fertig. Alles geschriebene ist noch leider Englisch - dafür spricht unser Freund Deutsch, was schon viel Wert ist... :) Leider klappt der Trick nicht mit den Textdateien, da die Fonts sonst zur Hölle fahren (also zur falschen) oder das Spiel einfach nicht mehr startet :( Schade! Dennoch mal schön wieder rein zu schauen <3
