The standard retro -game is similar to its ancestors only externally – “pixels”, music, but not in any way. Therefore, those who follows the covenants of antiquity for truly, as they do, for example, Shovel Knight or Retro City Rampage, They love nostalgiars especially. Drop Wizard – Of these.
Like in good old days
Made by an independent studio Neutronized, The game is simply filled with references by the eighties, the time of NES, we have known as “dandy”. The plot is matching. Theo, a wizard in a blue hoodie and a classic spicy hat, should pull his girlfriend out of the hands of an evil sorcerer. On the way to the lady of the heart, he runs through small multi -level rooms, launching an asterisk stunning enemies at every fall. Falling off the lower platform, the hero appears from above. The fascinated enemy can be touched so that he rolled into kubar, touching his friends. The greater the “heap” to collect, the more valuable prizes will fall, turning into glasses. Yes, the main idea is not thinner with not too popular with us Bubble Bobble, But how is it adapted to mobile devices! The sorcerer is controlled by a simple press on the right or
left side of the screen – no extra buttons and active areas, know only turn in the right direction.
In addition to the classic game about dragon, creators Drop Wizard They love a series about Mario very much. The menu sounds music, too similar to the track from Super Mario Land 2, so that it is a coincidence. The last enemy is accelerating at the level, local ghosts can only attack in the back, completely copying the BU from the adventures of the plumber. And when the turtles with something like a spike from above will meet on your way ..
The monsters are not only pretty (the creator himself is especially proud of a spider named Rag, the “boss” of the second level – and he is really a pretty), but they also require different approaches. One can only be attacked from the back, the other can jump from the platform to the platform, the third shoots when falling. Largely, thanks to this, the game monotonous in essence does not bother all those few hours for which passes. Unless the tactics of destruction of the leaders are similar.
Another important element Drop Wizard – Difficulty. There is no conservation after each submarine, the energy is not replenished by itself, in addition to enemies there are various obstacles like deadly cobblestones or guns, and if you deal with the badges for too long, an evil demon will fly and take away the cherished heart. Therefore, get ready to remember the nineties and see the inscription Game Over in half of the worlds. Moreover, to obtain a “correct” ending, you need to go through each stage, collecting three stars, and they fall out only after the combo.
Among the numerous examples of parasitization on the “pixels” work Neutronized – A bright spot. This is not a superchite, not an amazing experience, but a small journey into the past, a tour that will not be bored both who saw the “real” platformers of the past years, and began to play much later.
Pros: excellent adaptation of classic gameplay to sensory control;Tons of nostalgic joy.
Cons: monotony;Little duration.
