Dark Ages

Clunky controls and rough color scheme. No longer on steam.

Habe ich persönlich zuvor noch nie gespielt dieses Spiel und heutzutage ist es aufgrund der doch sehr matschigen Texturen fast unspielbar. Also ich persönlich habe Augenkrebs Stadium II jetzt. Hätte aber ein guter Platformer sein können, nur gibt es da alte Spiele die deutlich besser aussehen.

Dark Ages is a platformer in which you, as the rightful king of The Great Kingdom, have to take back your life from the grasp of Garth, an evil warlord who killed your father and sent you to be raised by peasants. Now he rules the Great Kingdom with an iron fist and all happiness is lost. GAMEPLAY Controls are not that comfortable. By that I mean the jumping in this game. I can play with ctrl and alt as jumping and shootings keys, I can. But I really disliked the way you couldn't move and jump instantly. It's almost impossible to do. Better off staying on the edge still and then make a jump. Weapons are cool I guess. The glowing ray is the most fun, nothing can dodge that. The game can be frustrating, first off monsters popping fast out of nowhere. Weapons sometimes aren't that responsive to kill the mob on time and not get hurt. Save system is just weird, but you kinda learn overtime. If you die, the game saves your progress and life as you started the level. Fighting with just a heart or two is normal. Though you thankfully can find those rare "beating hearts" which restore you to full health. Waterfalls are painful to watch. There's a level that fills the screen with just that pure white animation of it, trying to look like flowing water. But do you know what's worse? Waterfalls and geysers combined. Also it's pretty short. It looks huge when you fail over and over again. I played on easy difficulty, so the time spent should vary. I think the ending was too underwelming. They could've done something more there. VERDICT A very old school game. Feels clunky, has 1 egg monster that scared me a lot and decently hard. I recommend it if you just want to really see what was like on the 90's to play a videogame, besides that, you could give it a pass.

Color palette choice alone can make yours eyes bleed but with clunky controls and 2fps animation it is perfect combo to become blind :)

No.

Yo, you like DOS gaming? You like scrollable screens? You like unmappable controls? Well, then I sure have the game for you. By far an improvement on the studio's prior games, Dark Ages will make you wonder "Why would you use CTRL to jump? 10/10 10/10 100/100 Best game; best game!
