Conquest Of The Crystal Palace

Our Manual Critic Crow T. Robot Reads: Fifteen years ago The Crystal Palace was a thriving kingdom. The people of The Crystal Palace prospered and all things great and small were treated equal.

So What Kind Of Game Is This?

Hold on to your seat we have a platformer.

Can You Compare It To Anything Else?

Think 8 Eye's with shops where you can upgrade your weapons.

Does That Mean I Have A Pet Animal Who Attacks For Me?

Indeed. Your dog will run around and get himself killed too! You never need him, though, if you want to save his life.

You Haven't Mentioned Play Control Yet

It actually is quite good. But the game violates two tenants of fairness. Several times you have to take blind falls that cause instant death if you don't guess correctly where to land. Also, often enemies will appear on the screen that you have absolutely no chance of dodging, even if you're being careful.

Tell Me About This Shop

A pretty girl, standing in the middle of the battlefield (protected from all harm, of course), has open shops throughout the levels. She sells herbs, energy, lives(!), dog food, neat weapons, and good weapons. She also allows you to listen to the most recent news report!

Tell Me More!

Aiyeee...I'm sorry. I can't possibly wrestle anything more interesting out of this game.

Who Would You Recommend This To?

I like average RPG's and average puzzle games.  I don't like average platformers. If you do, then this one is just peachy.
