Melfand Stories is a side-scrolling beat'm up published by
Ascii. The kingdom of Melfand is under siege by
fearsome monsters. The evil Nomolwa and his subordinates
usurped the power to rule over the country - its last hope lies in
a group of four warriors and the desperate defenders embark on a
quest to reclaim the kingdom from the usurpers. Each hero comes with
his own personal melee weapon - El uses a sword, Corse
a spear, Lenin a magic rod and Nora a leather whip. Our
heroes can also collect magic spells along the way (from a list of four)
and instantly use them against enemies - some blast lightning bolts while
others unleash flying fire dragons. Interestingly, different paths
are possible in the game and some stages actually branch out into
secondary easier or harder routes, some even lead to bonus stages.
The game also features a two-player co-op option.

Melfand Stories is the kind of find I always praise,
an obscure import game that manages to stir up curiosity and
excitement. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect when I
purchased it - the box/cover lead me to think it was probably another Role
Playing game. But the truth was something entirely different.
Here is a fun and colorful beat'm up. Nothing groundbreaking by
any means, but any game this engaging definitively deserves attention.
I think the only down side is the limited and simple (often slow)
gameplay - moves are rather basic and their range is dramatically
short. This makes Melfand Stories a fun game for the youngest
players among us, hardcore beat'm up veterans may breeze through it
in no time and not enjoy a minute of it. I personally like it and the
different routes definitely add some replay value to the game.
A simple and yet fun game.
