Deadly Towers
Review by Z-Force
"Take Zelda, turn it into complete crap, and this is the result"
Hail noble heroes! In this "epic" quest, you must guide the mighty warrior known as Prince Meyer in order to fight some monsters, kill a demon and save some generic kingdom. Though on paper, this sounds like a decent quest game, let's take a look at what makes this game suck. And BOY does it suck.
Graphics: Sure you can tell me that this game was made on an old 8 bit system back in 1986 (or whatever year it was made in) but even that is no excuse for the totally poor graphics in this game. The castle that you wander around aimlessly in is about as bland as they come, and most monsters are made up of 1 or 2 colors and are completely unintelligible from anything that you can think of. (More on the monsters later)
Sound: I don't remember much about the sound, but I do remember that it was crap. Nuff said.
Storyline: Kill a demon, save the world, yadda yadda yadda. We've seen this about 1,000,000 times before.
Gameplay: Your mighty hero wanders around slowly and aimlessly, you basically have no idea what you are doing or where you are going. You must fight fearsome monsters that resemble blue puddles, beach balls, and other assorted nasties. Also, very dangerous fireballs may come out and attack you, and it is almost impossible to avoid them. One time in my endless wanderings, I walked through a door into another room. Immediately upon entering, a monster hit me and I was shoved back into the previous room. Try as I might, I was unable to enter this room at all. And the ultimate in confusion, one time I was walking around outside the castle (since going in would mean having to play more, I was somewhat against the idea) Suddenly, I magically transported into another area. I wandered around in this area for about half an hour, killing more of the same generic monsters, until I finally let my guy get killed off. During this period, I did not encounter a single landmark that would point me that I was going in the right direction.
Funfactor: Uhm... this game is NOT fun at all. The only fun I can come up with out of this game is to buy it (don't worry, you can get it for about 79 cents at Funcoland, so you don't need to feel as though you are wasting much money) then invite your friends over for a Deadly Towers bashing party. Play the game and bash how crappy it is, then take out a hammer then bash it to pieces. Other than that, stay away from this piece of utter horse crap.
