Humans and Beasts vie for
world domination in this fast-moving Pak from UK developer Bits and
publisher Nintendo. As with
other real-time strategy games, both sides gather resources, construct
buildings and troops, and
battle the enemy.
Adding a magical twist to
the straightforward action is the presence of wizards, each of whom has
one powerful spell. While
some wizards can convert enemy troops to your side, others can change
them into chickens or skeletons.
More than 20 kinds of wizards are hidden throughout the game.
In single-player mode, Warlocked
offers 12 single-player stages for each race. Each time you start
a new game, different wizards
will appear in different places. Not all wizards will be available as you
advance through the game's
stages. The only way to get the missing wizards is by trading with a
friend via the Game Boy
Color's infrared port.
You can also wage war in
six specially designed two-player levels via Game Link cable.
Subtle shading and detailing
in the graphics give this Game Boy Color exclusive a highly realistic look
and feel. The action ranges
from grasslands and forests to the tropics, desert and a frigid snowscape,
complete with igloos! The
Beast levels have a suitably gloomy look, with blood-red buildings standing
beside lakes rippling with
lava. |
