The Dwarf of Direwood Forest
Author: Larry Horsfield
Date: 2021
ADRIFT 5
Reviewed by Denk
First I must say that I beta-tested this game. This game is somewhat smaller
than most of Larry Horsfield's games, which tend to be massive. Still, it is
long enough to get immersed and it is in Larry's usual style and quality. You
take the role of the dwarf Grimmel several years before he appears in the game
"The Axe of Kolt" also by Larry Horsfield. He has to free some of his clan mates
which are held prisoners by another clan.
The game has a nice story, good
gameplay and good puzzles though the individual puzzles are not necessarily very
memorable, which is hard to achieve in smaller games. But still a very
entertaining game.
Parser: 4 stars
Larry is among the few author's who
usually manage to produce a game with a strong ADRIFT parser (probably because
most ADRIFT authors chose ADRIFT because it doesn't require programming
knowledge - but still it helps to know how ADRIFT works).
Atmosphere: 4
stars
The setting, writing and use of text colour all add to an immersive
atmosphere.
Cruelty: Tough
As most of Larry Horsfield's games, they
can become unwinnable, though you usually will have a pretty good idea when and
what causes it. If you save often without overwriting old save-files, it is no
big deal.
Puzzles: 4 stars
Some good solid puzzles without being very
memorable.
Overall: 4 stars
Though the individual puzzles may not be
that memorable, the overall story is and everything is in Larry Horsfield's
usual style and quality.
