It's the most underrated Zelda II style game

>> No.10898712

Anon. For good fucking reason, I grew up this game and it's been a cornerstone of inspiration for a lot of shit I make. But this game is a complete pain in the ass to play. There's 0 point to combat outside of bosses as no enemies drop stuff and all fights can be bypassed if you're the right class in the right area, the sword combat is a cute idea but you're generally better off crouching and tapping B to whack things in the shin. There's some cool as fuck upgrades you get but it's really disappointing that each upgrade is just used to bypass a single nuclear obstacle each time, like how you use the Wizard's fireball staff to kill a nuclear beehive.

I cannot bring myself to hate the game because how great the soundtrack is, and I love how it looks, but holy shit it doesn't play very nice.

No. Between W&W and Ironsword I prefer the first but I don't genuinely believe there is a drop in quality between the two. III is fucking dogshit though. It's awful.

I didn't say it was a good Wizards and Warriors game. I said it was a good Zelda II game. I do agree that it shouldn't be a W&W title.

They obviously used "evil" because it's an anagram of live, so they wouldn't have to use extra graphics space for a different word.

Anon, the above meter says life. They still had to make a V.

It's just the boss hp meter but for some reason it's there even when there's no boss on screen.

I don't see that at all. Combat is pointless, and upgrades have no practical use other than bypassing the single roadblock for each one.

There's not much to the towns in Zelda 2, and you know that. Have you played both of these games or are you just pulling stuff out of your ass?

There's soft locks if you get the question items in the wrong order. It's an interesting concept and extension of the previous games but it really drags and falls apart towards the end.

dunno about underrated, but I agree that it deserves some positive ratings by at least some players - it's a big inaccessible mess and it kind of isn't good, but it's also kind of awesome, and if nothing else it's a lot more interesting than "generally pleasant and nicely polished Capcom/Konami action game #117"
