Dwarven Disaster

You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Not as bad as it could be
Simplistic game design which is still stuck in the computer stone age, graphics are simple, sound track is repetitive and sound effects are insanely annoying, game is "blood free" but the whole point is to kill insects and other people-like creatures, also, there is no story line!
Brave Dwarves 2 is in the line of classic adventure games reminiscent of early Nintendo and very early computer games. This game reminds me of a poorly made spin off of Treasure Mountain.
The preview for the game makes it seem like there is some sort of story that you follow along with, but the whole game just seemed to be about running around killing bees and collecting money.
The game's introduction says fun for the whole family without violence, but the whole point is to kill things, just becuase you don't see the blood doesn't mean the values are any better. Also, not only is the object of the game to kill and collect money, but when your character is injured repeatedly, he never seems to die; the health bar decreases, but there's no consequence for letting it run down.
Other than trying to figure out what the point of the game is, the worst part is the overall game design. The graphics are very simplistic and remind me of Treasure Mountain from when I was a kid. Brave Dwarves have the same level of movement, scenery, props, everything as the "Treasure" series (which happens to be 15 years old) without any of the nostalgia factor to help it. The sound effects in this game are also supremely annoying, not only do you have constant howling of the ghosts, but the constant attach by the bees, all underscored by a repetive jingle.
Last, but not least, is there ever any end to the game, some sort of goal you're working towards other than just the next level? Or is collecting coins and killing bees all there is to it?
Seems to be designed as a childs game, but there are many, many others that are much better (and are free). Pointless game, as there is no story line and the graphics and sound effects only serve to annoy the player. Definetly one of the worst games I have played.
