Darkwolf

About this game

This simple platform game contains some interesting concepts, such as the ability to have and use different magic powers and special items at the same time. However, the controls of your wizard (especially jumping) make this game very hard to play, due to the fact that its hard to get him to do what you want. Nevertheless, the game features nice looking VGA graphics and SB sounds.Darkwolf is a DOS-based game released in the mid-90s, known for its action-adventure and role-playing elements.
