I have loved this wonderful older RPG game since I got my first disc a few years ago. Simplistic and easy to follow...and it has four different protagonists to choose from, with easy to normal player levels. I bought this one on eBay because I couldn't find my old one, and found that this was the second printing from 1994, but it was just as fabulous as my old original 1993 issue. No two games I have played has ever been exactly the same, because I switch characters, find or buy special weapons, or simply work my way through the games by different routes. The graphics are extremely simple, but the maps layouts are well-thought out and full of great detail. I don't enjoy repetitive music, so the options allow me to turn off the music if it gets tiresome. The monsters, characters, and leaders are imaginative and fun to play, and as long as I can still find good replacement Sega Genesis control pads, or find broken ones for refurb parts, I am a happy camper! I have worn out a dozen pads (and these are some of the best-built game controller pads made!) playing this game hundreds of times. I keep praying every day that my old Genesis SDX keeps on truckin' for another 20 years! :) Great for kids (no blood, gore, or foul words, and plenty of heroism going around) or for adults (great story lines and loads of secrets to discover).Read full review
This was the game that turned me on to strategy rpgs. If you have a Sega CD, like games like Shining Force or Ogre Battle and want a game that will last you about 25-35 hours, this is the one. The game is kind of like Shining Force on steroids. You have much more ability to determine your path than in Shining Force. Other bonuses include the ability to cast magic from great differences and a great soundtrack. It has been years since I played through this one but if any game deserved a sequel, this is it. . .
Dark Wizard has to be considered one of the best RPG strategy games of all time. Everything was done perfectly from the graphics to the gameplay to the amount of items there is in the game, not to mention there are 4 different main characters in the game which makes the replay value go through the roof!!! The only thing missing that would have made it the all time great is a 2 player mode where u can save your army and fight against another human controlled army. Even with this flaw i give it a 5/5 rating, was way ahead of its time and still blows current RPG's out of the water today in my opinion. I will NEVER sell my copy and will play it till im old and gray.
If you like turn based stragity games and anime than this is a great game. There are several leaders that one can choose from (each with different strengths / weaknesses) the chosen leader leads an army of different races / summoned monsters to fight off evil. Every unit can advance in level and class becomming different and more powerful. Non-monster units can be equiped with different weapons, items and armor. Patience is required. Being a turn based stragity game, the battles take a very long time to complete. So playing the game from start to finish is a major time investment. That being said, the plots are varied from leader to leader so there is replay value.
Dark Wizard is one of my favorite games. It is a Strategy game with Role Playing elements. The story is good, the game play is perfect, the music is great, and there are lots of secrets to uncover while you play through the 4 included stories. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves a good turn based strategy title, especially those who enjoy fantasy based stories/gameplay. 10/10
