Reviews for Elven Warrior (#1608)

Review by Stack on 25 May 2014 (Rating: 4)

Somewhat ponderous gameplay and the inability to jump in any direction other than vertically count against this game in the etes of many but thses facets are also the ones that take it away from being just another platform adventure and force the player to tackle it more as a puzzle game to solve.
This is a nicely presented and completeable Spectrum game, not in the absolute top echelon, and a 3-4 in terms of scoring here. I'll say 4.

This is a very unassuming game. At first glance it looks like your average budget game. It's got a weird jump mechanic meaning you can only jump straight up and although you have a health bar, falling into water results in a game over. But it's actually good fun to play once you get passed these niggles.
You play an elf and you run around shooting with your bow and arrows. You need to collect things but I don't know why cos I didn't read the instructions. Pressing down will let you enter doors. You also collect keys, but I didn't come across any locked doors.
While far from being a classic, it's good enough to earn 4/5 from this reviewer.

I agree with other reviewers: this game is more a puzzle game than a platform arcade game.

Also, configure your emulator to 200% speed, it plays much better this way.

Don't forget to read the text on the title screen: there are some other weapons, you are not limited to arrows. Not thay you will need them, tho.
