Dragon's Lair for SNES

Dragon's Lair

Worse controls than the FMV original


Genre: action - hack n slash

Publisher: Data East

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Perhaps the worst controls ever in a 2D game. So slippery and animations are SO long despite having only 2 frames. Animation of swinging sword is like golfing - hit box is down to the right and happens 1.5 seconds after hitting the button Jump is loo low to avoid getting hit by anything


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Horrid level design. Platforming is incredibly difficult but the game is full of blind jumps and tiny platforms over bottomless pits. The levels seem built around the game engine's limitations.


Theme Score: 3
