Dragon's Curse
aka Wonder Boy IIIGenre: adventure - platform
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1991
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Simple, responsive controls. Short jump. Plays a lot like Zelda 2. Gimmick is the ability to switch between different bodies like a dragon or a mouse. This has been done better in subsequent games but it's fun here. Great hit detection
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Open world. I got lost almost immediately and wandered around in circles for a long while. There are some fun elements but ultimately I was bored.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
A mix between Zelda 2 and Mario. Very cute. I want to like it more than I do.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Looks like an 8-bit title. Somewhere between Mega Man and Adventure Island.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Pleasant music to go with chirpy 8-bit sound effects.
Overall Score: 71
