✦ AI summary
Players praise Dragonsphere as an underrated classic point-and-click adventure with beautiful pixel art, engaging fantasy storytelling, and genuinely challenging puzzles that reward exploration and note-taking. The main complaints center on occasional clunky interface design, pixel hunting, some nonsensical puzzle logic, red herring inventory items, and technical issues like freezing on the difficulty selection screen.
This game was one of those games I was always looking for, an old game with a fantasy theme and a beautiful story. It was pure nostalgia and I thank God I was able to play this game. This game is really underrated. It was a great adventure. 9.4/101 found this helpful
"A magical quest is not quickly accomplished, my dear" Just terrific, when Fantasy was unique and fresh, a classic battle between good and evil. A game from a time where you had to ask people for help, and where puzzles were actually meant to be...puzzling. Oh Atari, how we miss thee! Try it without the tutorial, you're in for a real challenge. Look at everything!
Dragonsphere is probably Microprose's best point and click game and also one of the best point and click games ever made. I kinda like how it's rough around the edges because that early 90s retro vibe really shines through. The puzzles aren't hard, but I had to write some things down and even make a spreadsheet because there is a procedural order to some of them that is better mapped out. I only dislike that some inventory items are useless (red herrings, of course, but I found myself wishing they actually did something) and the interface can make some sections WAY harder than need be. There is a part where you have to use an item with a particular command at a particular time that seems nonsensical, but many puzzles are seemingly nonsensical since many of the items are magical items. There is a twist near the end that really enhances the game, and the game overall is really well made. I recommend not using a guide, but keep in mind that there is a part where you need to reference a document that is not included with the game (it was on the original version).
If you like old point and click games, you'll enjoy this one. It has many of the same issues all these older games have like some clunky puzzles and a few pixel hunting moments. But if you are familiar with these kind of games its not a problem. On the plus side, some beautiful pixel art, a unique story, and (sometimes very funny) voice acting . I really enjoyed the last half of the game.
Makes me choose difficulty, but I am unable to because it freezes on that screen.
Not bad game, very cool
