60 Second Review of…
Wizards & Warriors
Tom's Review: Peruse most reviews of this game
and you'll note that the reviewer obviously didn't finish
the game: you'll see screenshots of the first dungeon with
a row of unarmored first level characters along the right
side of the screen. Immediately disregard any such reviews.
This is a game that doesn't pay off unless you stick with
it for the long run. It's sometimes tedious, the story is
underdeveloped, and it's ugly. But if you recall playing RPGs
around a table, they were never about graphics, a smooth interface,
fast-paced gameplay, or even a well-told story. They were
about building alter egos into fantasy superheros. This is
what Wizards & Warriors does right. And yes, I did finish
it.
Mark's Review: What, are you kidding? This
game takes like 100 hours to play. I'll just take Tom's word
for it that Wizards & Warriors is good.
