Willow is an action game released in 1989 for the Nintendo NES. Players take control of the titular character, Willow Ufgood, who embarks on a quest to protect a special baby from dark forces. The main objective revolves around navigating through various levels filled with enemies and obstacles while using Willow's magical and combat abilities to progress.
The game maintains a steady pace, blending exploration with combat sequences. Players must manage resources such as health and magic, adding a tactical element to gameplay. A unique mechanic in Willow is the ability to use magic spells alongside physical attacks, allowing for varied combat strategies against different types of enemies.
One unusual idea in Willow is its adaptation of a movie storyline into an interactive format, which was less common at the time. The game’s distinctive feature is its combination of platforming with RPG-like elements, such as spell casting and character progression, creating a hybrid experience tailored for the NES platform.
