Crocodile Island

9kgames

Flash back to 80's style of RPG in this game from 9kgames, you are a young wizard character that finds themselves on an island, riddled with monsters varying from what looks like bears with pirate outfits and birds, just bids, but they flap around and look really menacing.

The game proceeds with you running across each screen full of obstacles and monsters trying to get to the next well that loads up the next screen with even more menacing birds and bears in pirate outfits. Manage your mana carefully less your character be forced in grueling hand to hand combat with said birds and bears. But don't simply maneuver around all the enemies to get to the next level, or else you will never level up and soon enough your ability to fight will be reduced to next to nothing.

The end game is what eludes me, and by eludes I mean that I have no idea what the objective of this game is. Move through a few dozen stages and advance several levels only to realize you are just going through the same motions of when you started. Perhaps if the story premise was on the screen for more then 3 seconds I could read it and get some glimmer to what the game was about. At one point in the game you encounter a Princess who warns you the game will get more difficult and to use gems and coins to spend at the store. A Store that I am unable to access. Keep in mind too though that this is the 'Lite' version. Perhaps the $2.99 version will shed some light on what is going on, on Crocodile Island.

Recommendation: Download it, beat it, and then tell me what the point of it was.
