Act: Brave Dwarves 2 [by Game-Over Games]

Brave dwarves 2 is a little game I picked up and gave a try recently. The game is a simple platformer where the player controls 1 of 2 different dwarf characters, collecting keys to pass levels while hording gold along the way. The gold can be used to buy items such as new weapons and health upgrades in stores along the way. The player jumps around in a fairly non-linear (you can left or right at times, then go back the other way later) fashion killing little enemies along the way.

Brave dwarves 2 does have very nice graphics, reminiscent of the lost Vikings. The graphics throughout the game are well done, even if the backgrounds were too dark and drab for my tastes.

This game really didn’t do it for me overall however. The game was boring throughout, with the enemies proving no challenge whatsoever, and each screen was repetitive in design, and just full of gold. The game did not have scrolling as such, but a sort of static screen change that occurred every time the player went ‘out of the screen’ in whichever direction he chose. The screens provided no platforming challenge either, due to the lack of falling damage or ‘pits’ to die in, you could just try again if you failed. I was never challenged in the game, not even paying attention to my life since the enemies were so weak and life potions so plentiful.
