Blade Warrior (1991) [AMIGA]

The world has been enslaved by Murk, and players are challenged to free it by collecting the seven fragments of a tablet which are in the possession of seven wizards who inhabit seven towers.

The game is a mix of adventuring and battling, in which players are tasked with collecting magical items and exploring the landscape of the game via the in-game map, all the while being assaulted by 'baddies'. Various facilities in the game are accessible only when a certain number of artifacts have been collected. A notable feature of Blade Warrior is the graphical interface: all objects in the game are seen in silhouette, except for obtainable items, and the effects of magic spells. The background is made up of a night sky, with clouds and hills etc.

This was such a great-looking and atmospheric style for a game - shame it was pretty damn tedious to play :(

@puyopuyochoco This happens to a lot of Amiga games, very nice looking but the gameplay is not that good...
