I always get hyped up, whenever I get new NES cartridges, and this game definitely had some cool cover art. Alright I'll review the game. Wizards and Warriors might remind you of a generic medieval style game, and the title doesn't help. However Wizards and Warriors focuses on gameplay, more then realism. Read more to find out about this game.

Gameplay B-: I hate to say this, but Wizards and Warriors gameplay is great but far from perfect. You play as a goofy short night with the worlds smallest sword, its so small that its awkward to kill things, thankfully enemies die right on contact of that little thing, which helps. Your night controls well, hes a bit slippery but nothing on order of say, Sonic 3D Blast. You push select to use a magic item. Magic items are infinite and theres a lot of different ones. They are all helpful though. From here it looks like Wizards and Warriors is a well designed, fun game, but there are a few design flaws that kill it. For one, the level design is quite vertical, which is fine, but if you fall down then usualy you have to drag butt ALL the way back up. That is aggravating. Then you have the lack of a in-game map, sure you get a kingdom map in the beginning of each stage, but it doesn't show the level, it just shows the theme. I noticed my self going in circles just looking for a small key. Lastly, you have hoards of hard to kill enemies and cheap hits. Thank god, theres infinite continues, because I would have lowered the grade without those. Overall Wizards and Warriors has a lot of good gameplay elements, but theres just a few simple things the developers couldn't get right.

Graphics B+: The visuals are somewhat generic, but they do have a lot of detail, and the dark creepy atmosphere is well drawn. The sprites are also well animated, and theres little to no slowdown OR flicker. 

style music is well played out, and fits most situations. My main gripe with the music is where some things are played. When your low on health, a happy upbeat tune plays, as if the game hates you and is super happy for you to die.

Addictiveness A: Theres no denying the amount of fun you'll have with this game. While the game can be cheap, I really got hooked on this game. I'm sure you will too.

Depth B-: Wizards and Warriors is not large, but its a nicely sized adventure, the levels on average take about 15 minutes to beat depending on how good you are. The lack of good bosses is disappointing though, the final boss is just a pink witch, that is somewhat easy to kill, and looks like a magic koopa.

Difficulty Medium Easy: There are a lot of cheap hits, but you have unlimited continues, and you start right where you died, those two things alone make this game a little easy, your pretty much guaranteed to make progress.
