Wicked Plague

Cool game!

First of all the production is amazing. Having a full color manual is so rare these days and great to see. The cart quality is great and it looks awesome in the clear plastics. The charm is really cool as well. I've seen people put them on their console after beating the game and I think thats great. As far as the game it looks amazing. Its cool to see something with art so evocative with such low resolution and have so much going on with such simplicity.

Amazing gameplay

Graphics, music, sound effects, and amazing gameplay. The only problem was that I wanted so much more. I hope there's a sequel to continue the story and the amazing gameplay

Excellent, Easily Digestible Metroidvania in your Pocket

Wicked Plague is a surprisingly rich little Metroidvania for the Chromatic/GBC. There's a little more yapping than we need, but the dialogue is quirky and fun, and it does convey the personalities of the characters that are speaking. Combat isn't very deep, but the whole experience is fairly brief -- which isn't a bad thing! It doesn't overstay its welcome and offers just enough challenge to be satisfying. There's also just enough in the way of upgrades/character progression to keep you wanting to press forward, and landing those rewards feels good and meaningful as your avatar gradually gains in stats. Overall, I found this game to be a nice, bite-sized affair with decent combat, fun bosses, good rewards/incentives/stat progression, and just enough character and story to make me want to finish it. I think I will play it again sometime since it doesn't demand too much of my time and I do remember it fondly. Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the ATMOSPHERE that the designers built into the rooms and levels -- I found it a lot of fun to explore the various segments of the building and how each had its own feel and sound. Solid recommend!
