Elvira: Mistress of the Dark

Platforms: Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, PC-98   Developer: Horror Soft Ltd.   Publisher: Accolade Inc.   Franchise: Elvira   Year: 1990   Tags: Fantasy, Horror, Real-time combat  

Description:

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is a survival horror adventure game and stars the actress Cassandra Peterson as her character Elvira the witch. The game uses a first-person perspective in which the hero wanders around solving puzzles, and combating with undead creatures that have overrun Elvira’s Castle. This game features dozens of different death sequences. If the cook in the kitchen kills you, for example, you can see your head floating in her cauldron. The game also has a real-time combat system. You have to time your attacks and blocks in order to defeat the enemy. Elvira was one of the first mouse games touting the sophisticated modern nature of its "point and click" interface. Icons for examine, mix, pick-up, and other context sensitive commands allow the player to manipulate the environs of the castle. Magic spells are used to improve skill in combat and advance the plot through solving object-oriented puzzles. To move around, players click on any part of the screen or click on one of the highlighted direction arrows. The latter moves the player forward, up, or down in the direction they are facing; the left, right, and back arrows change that direction, and re-display the perspective from it. Armed guards will attack the player as well as monsters. When attacked, the game switches into combat mode. Fights are seen from a third person view; in combat mode, players only have two options - trust and parry.
