Largo Winch review

Gordon Aplin of Quandary has reviewed Largo Winch: Empire Under Threat, calling it a “surprisingly entertaining adventure game.”

Even the combat scenarios can be seen as puzzles as only a strategy is required and none of them proved too difficult even when faced with up to four opponents. Action fans may well find the combat to be too simple as all you do is select your opponent, choose if you will use fist or foot or other item, then sit back and watch as Largo or Joy or Simon run up to the bad guy, carry out the manoeuvre then run back to await the assailant’s attack. From an adventurer’s perspective it’s not at all arduous unless, of course, you don’t like hurting people.
