Dark Law - Meaning of Death (Japan) [En by Aeon Genesis v1.0]SNES |
_[En_by_Aeon_Genesis_v1.0]-1459327388-thumb.png) | Dark Lord was a Japanese-exclusive RPG for the NES that pushed the limits of the machine and mimed the style of table top RPGs of the day. Dark Lord had only one problem: it was painfully short, beatable within ten hours of starting it. As time passed, Dark Lord fans received a sequel: the bizarrely named Wizap!. Wizap! deviated from Dark Lord's formula drastically -- so much so it was closer to an action RPG than its table top style origins.
All in all, this was very disappointing. Wizap! was followed by another sequel, one that promised the gameplay of the original and more. Did this game, Dark Law, stand up to the fan's expectations? View Game |
