"Great game...wish it was available for the Mac"
Version: Diggles: The Myth of Fenris demo
Pros
Great Game...I originally wrote the review below in August of 2002; thus, it is 7 years old. Regardless, this is still one of my all time favorite games.
Cons
Very buggy when I did the original review back in 2002; however, I imagine it works perfectly now on more powerful systems. It is also very difficult. When I played back in 2002, I lived on the user help forums getting hints on how to progress.
Summary
... Diggles has a lot of bugs and doesn't work well on all PC systems; otherwise, I would have rated this the best game of 2002. The bugs are possibly what's keeping this game from taking the US by storm.
... Unless you have a powerful PC or are willing to upgrade, this game may not be for you. I have a P4, 256MB Physical Memory and 962 Virtual Memory running on Win XP. The dialogue is choppy at best and my "show dialogue" option only works occassional. The original release of the game was in German so there are a few minor translation glitches which I don't mind but you might. All in all, the game runs fairly well on my system but you may want to visit the distributor's web site and read some of the forum comments. If you purchase the game, you'll end up becoming very familiar with the user forum as there is no published walkthru or UHS. ...
Now on to the actual game review: it is fabulous, funny, scary, suspensful, and extremely challenging. It's a mix of a bunch of different gaming types so it is hard to pigeonhole it into one category. Let's call it a combination RPG, Strategy, Simulation, Puzzle/Maze, Adventure, Fighting and more. The concept of mixing all these genres is amazing, gameplay bugs and all.
You control a growing clan of dwarves in search of the missing pieces to a magical dog lead. You have to find all the pieces in order to bring the dog/demon back under the control of his master. Finding the pieces to the lead requires digging underground through 4 worlds. Sounds simple but it's not. Case in point, I'm still on level one after 3 weeks of gameplay & much time spent in the user forum seeking hints and other assistance. Each world has several mini-quests. With the miniquests (some are required to advance and some are just for fun) and overall Diggle life management, gameplay is frustrating and thrilling.
If your PC can handle it, try this game. You'll love it!!! -

"Its very cute"
Version: Diggles: The Myth of Fenris demo
Pros
The game is very cute, nice graphics, the story line is pretty funny too. I bought the full version after I played the demo, and it was totally worth it. You build a little underground city, dig caves, build things like carpenter, log, stonemason that type of thing. Later on you can build things like a theater, school and brothel, which is pretty funny. The little diggles are really cute, they fall in love and have babies. Its an all around fun game.
Cons
I cant really think of much to say thats negative. After awhile it gets a little difficult for your dwarfs to get around, because the area becomes so big they dont have time to do their little jobs. But other than that its really great. I usually get very bored of a game after a couple of days of playing, but I have not gotten bored of this one yet.
