Reviews for Stormbringer (#4919)

Review by Alessandro Grussu on 07 May 2017 (Rating: 5)

The last chapter of the Magic Knight saga, Stormbringer sees our hero looking for a way to reunite with his alter ego, the Off-White Knight, which originated from to the dimensional laceration in space and time that occurred when he returned from the future experienced in Knight Tyme. Magic Knight must therefore use various objects, interact with many non-playing characters - many of them possessing skills required to help him in his predicament -, cast spells at the right time, and avoid lethal dangers found throughout the place.

The game is driven through an original and functional pull-down menu system named "Windimation" by its author, David Jones. Stormbringer is the most complex and articulated adventure starring Magic Knight, as well as one of the best examples of this genre ever appeared on the Spectrum.

Similarly to Spellbound and Knight Tyme, an 128K enhanced version, with more rooms, characters, puzzles and AY soundtrack is available.
