Litil Divil

What really makes Litil Devil so much fun is it's sense of humor. Every animation and puzzle sequence make me chuckle or laugh out loud - not easy to do when you're as jaded as I am. (just kidding!).

A great title character; varied gameplay; and nice graphics and sound. Meandering labyrinths can get tiring; some game elements are often repeated. You'll love that cute litil divil despite what he may have done to end up in hell.

This game is fun and has cute graphics, so I think it will brighten your long misty winter afternoons. It's better to play the Devil then to become one!

Väldigt bra grafik och atmosfärisk musik. Det finns en del grafikbuggar som stör, dock.

Älytön juoksentelu pois ja lisää tallennusmahdollisuuksia, niin Litil Divil olisi klassikko. Kannattaa varautua riekalehermoihin, muuten vaikuttava kokemus.

Optisch ist hier zwar nicht unbedingt die Hölle los, doch sind die flott scrollenden Grafiken nett gezeichnet und teilweise ungemein witzig animiert. Die CDD-Musik geht prima ins Ohr, die Sound-FX lassen sich ertragen, und an die hakelige Steuerung muß man sich (besonders da, wo es auf Timing ankommt) halt gewöhnen. Eingedenkt des abwechslungsreichen Gameplays tut man das aber recht gerne, denn Gremlins Satanslabyrinth hält allerlei diabolische Überraschungen für den Spieler bereit. Anders gesagt: Auch und gerade am CD32 verspricht Litil Divil ein paar höllisch unterhaltsame Stunden!

I'll have to say that the opening sequence to the game was great to look at. In fact, most of the graphics in Lil Divil are quite good. Still, it plays like a tired PC computer game with mediocre control. The animation was okay, but didn't thrill me. There are role-playing/adventure and fighting action sequences in the game, which gives it some play value. But even though the character is humorous, the appeal wore off.

Som AC/DC så förutseende uttryckte det: Hell ain't no bad place to be.

When did I start to like RPGs? I'm quite sure it was the time when game developers finally decided to get rid of those freaking endless dungeons in which every hallway and corner looked exactly the same! Phantasy Star, Dungeons & Dragons, Shining in the Darkness even The Legend of Kyrandia; what did they all have in common? Yes, you guessed it right, infinite, huge, never-ending dungeons! The first one who can explain to me what the fun was of walking in a maze in which every wall and floor appears precisely alike, will win a prize.

First of all, the control is not what I would call responsive and the game is too slow in general. You'll absorb a LOT of cheap hits. The hallways all look the same after a while, and even with the auto-map feature, you'll either get lost or just plain tired of wandering aimlessly. Although the canned animated scenes are amusing at first, you can't skip them, and you'll become weary of watching them over and over. In the end, Litil Divil is a nice showcase for the CD-i, but comes up short in the gameplay department.
