Never thought I'd review a video game on IMDb, but this is a great (albeit difficult) game. Unlike video games that hold the players hand, this is more characterized as "sink or swim". Levels are beautiful, and game has a very classic feel. Plus Fabio (who never actually makes an appearance in the game) is a rather bizarre but obvious pick for the title, given this was released at the height of his fame.

IT RULEZ!

Putting Fabio on the cover of this late 80s NES dog should've warned the public that nothing but awesome was inside of the box. Another clumsy Wizards and Warriors game, this time pitting Kuros inexplicably against the four elements, in a steel-cage deathmatch that can only be seen to be believed. I just want to take this time to remind everybody that the great FABIO is on the cover of the box, and appeared in the commercial.
Malkil returns
p80020711 April 2006
After the success of the original Wizards & Warriors which was released in 1987, Rare/Acclaim released a sequel within a year. Although some elements remained the same in this game, the game overall is a let-down compared to it's superb predecessor. Malkil survived the attack of Kuros and now returns. He has gained control of the four natural elements and pits them against Kuros. It is up to you as Kuros to defy the four elements of nature, earth, wind, fire and water and defeat Malkil once again. Use your weapons and familiars well, you'll need them! This game has a great finale on top of the mountain. You'll need all your skills to defeat four bosses at the same time! Although not as great as its predecessor it still is a great game and has some very nice music. Followed by Wizards & Warriors III, Silversword (1991)
