Reviews for Desolator (#1359)

Review by WhenIWasCruel on 20 Jan 2010 (Rating: 2)

a difficult and desolated monochrome effort.

Desolator is a conversion of a relatively obscure Sega coin-op, Halls of Kairos, which involves your character going around a maze-like haunted mansion rescuing little kids who are being held captive there.

I remember having played the coin-op personally and as a conversion this is a good effort. It is the coin-op itself that is a little bland on the gameplay side; unfortunately, this aspect has been ported to the Spectrum conversion as well.

Not bad, but not very exciting either, although this is no fault of the Spectrum version.

As a pretty rubbish arcade game this port was never going to stand out amongst the crowd but its boring gameplay is combined with rather unflattering graphics.
