This review is teeming with lively examples from the game that keeps the reader engaged. I particularly enjoyed reading about the final little twist after finishing off the final boss. Also like how you casually sprinkle in some wit and sarcasm throughout the review. Overall, this is an enjoyable and informational read that kept me engaged from start to finish. It looks like you didn't force anything and just let the review more or less write itself.

Thanks for that catch and for the nice words. This was a review that sat on the shelf, of a game I've played several times since I found it on emulation. I had trouble making this one sentence succinct, but in my defense, the first draft was REALLY all over the place. So here goes:

Really good review. Becasue I really had fun with the game I would have rated it higher but that's all presonal opinion anyway. Did you play Eternal Dagger?

Thanks for the nice words. I definitely played Eternal Dagger. I don't think I'm going to write a review, because there's little more to say than that ED is the game WC could be, and a 7/8, so I guessed WC is a bit below that. I try to put my own biases aside and maybe I twisted myself around too much.

I agree ED was a better game. I also liked you could transfer your characters from the first game. Did you ever realize it had a finite number of monsters in each area? I think it was the first game I ever ran out of monsters to kill.

I wasn't aware there were -finite- monsters! I just thought they got less populous. I'd be curious if there was text that said "oops, the monsters are gone" or if it was more that you just mucked around and didn't find anyone.

Sorry I did not get back to you on this, but yes there is a notice that no more monsters exist in a given area. That is how I found out. I don't rememeber exactly how that came up I believe I was using some kind of search and there was the message, something like "there are no more monsters to be found in this area" and sure enough there were none.

No problem--this is tough to find. I looked through the bytes and didn't find anything with the words you had, but I'm inclined to believe you. I know several areas dried up. I suppose practically the effect is the same. I'll search more tonight.

Might not be those exact words. I was a long time ago I played it.
