Power Piggs of the Dark Age is a platformer released in 1996 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game places players in control of anthropomorphic pig warriors who navigate through medieval-themed levels filled with enemies and obstacles.
The main objective is to progress through various stages by defeating foes and overcoming environmental hazards to reach the end of each level. The pace is moderately fast, with players needing to time jumps and attacks carefully to survive. Unique mechanics include the use of different weapons wielded by each character, adding variety to combat and strategy.
One distinctive feature is the game's medieval setting combined with cartoonish pig protagonists, creating an unusual blend of humor and action. The levels incorporate diverse traps and enemies inspired by dark age folklore, which adds a thematic depth uncommon in typical platformers of its era.
