Highlights: * Multiple scene set * A lot of detail * Easy game control * Random levels * Different charactors * Simple gameplay but a lot of fun ========= End of Ads, let's talk about this game. Well, this is a story between the Load of Shadow and You-Know-Who. The Lord of Shadow was sent to watch family's land of fortune as soon as he graduated from Monster School few months ago ... This is not an easy job as he thought because of the existence of You-Know-Who. Below is the daily conversation between the Load of Shadow and his minions from day one: "My Lord! The annoying You-Know-Who come again!" "Again? You must be kidding me! You go following the You-Know-Who and keep eyes on my fortune. Where is my spell book? I need to go over it again." Bio of the Lord of Shadow: * Like: 1. Sleep 2. the Fortune Locker 3. Sleep in the Fortune Locker * Don't Like: 1. Interruption of sleep 2. Fortune being stolen 3. Interruption of sleep and fortune being stolen while sleeping in the Fortuen Locker. * Good at: 1. Sleep 2. Sleep in the Fortune Locker * Not so good at: 1. Spells 2. Chasing You-Know-Who 3. Casting spells while chasing You-Know-Who Bio of Minion of Shadow: * Like: 1. the Lord of Shadow 2. the Sun 3. the Moon * Don't Like: 1. You-know-who 2. Cloudy day 3. Rainy day * Good at: 1. Following You-Know-Who 2. Copy moves of You-Know-Who 3. Following while copying moves of You-Know-Who * Not so good at: 1. Attacking You-Know-Who Bio of You-Know-Who * Like: 1. Stealing fortune from the Lord of Shadow * Don't Like: 1. Being noticed while stealing fortune from the Lord of Shadow * Good at: 1. Stealing fortune from the Lord of Shadow * Not so good at: 1. Not being noticed while stealing fortune from the Lord of Shadow "The spell is not so efficient as described in the book", the Lord of Shadow complained loudly, especially when he didn't remember a complicated spell. ========= If you think it is too simple, try score 100 points in a game.
