The instructions are simple and easily understood,
the use of colour is imaginative and complements the
detailed graphics, while the use of sound does not
interfere with the progression through the adventure.
The character set has been redesigned in keeping
with the medieval atmosphere and a wolf's head at
screen right informs of the book location.
You are in the Kai monastery learning to become a
Warrior Lord when the Darklords destroy everyone.
You set off to the capital to warn the King - a
dangerous mission, for the Darklords are cruel,
giving no mercy.
The game starts with you acquiring combat skills in
unarmed combat prior to setting off. Endurance is
shown screen right and disappears during a fight.
Options are keyed by 1 and acceptance by 9, other
keys cause movement and so on. The locations are
instantly drawn hi-res pictures with tolerable
animation.
Combat skill can be increased by winning fights and
gold crowns and backpack items are collected
during the adventure.
Lone Wolf is also available with a book and overlay
for £8.95.
