Wizards & Warriors (1987 Video Game) User Reviews

An Honest Review

[generationofswine · 10/10 · 4 November 2020]

Oddly for kids, when we looked at the cover and the title "Wizards & Warriors" we thought "D&D junk."

And, mind you we thought that even AFTER playing Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and so on almost nonstop through the winters.

But, then we loaded it up and... it actually looked MILES better than Dragon Warrior and Zelda. Sure, it didn't have the open world feel of Zelda, but is sure looked cool.

And then, the levels, they were SUPER freaking fun. We had no idea what we were in for as kids, this was a sleeper, this was one of the more entertaining games of our youth that we only discovered because my grandmother (who hardly knew what NES was) thought it would make an OK Christmas gift.

Even my dad, who only played two player competitive games go hooked.

It was fun from start to finish.... but ultimately, too short a play.

Great Rareware game.

Wizards and warriors could be an old game, but it's cool anyway.This is the fourth Rareware game for NES.This game was launched in 1987, and many game magazines said that this is the first success of Rareware. The game's graphics were excellent for 1987(Some games, like Legend of Zelda, had few sprites.). The sound was so-so.Nothing against, but the music couldn't be more drowsy. The game play was good.The controls were simple and the response was quick. The game was very cool.It had a great Fun Factor. If you want to play more of this type of game on your NES system, go check Iron Sword(1989), the sequence of this game. My scores:

GRAPHICS-10/10 SOUND-7/10 game play-9/10 FUN FACTOR-8/10

My overalls: 8.5/10.
