So I told some folks I would do a walkthough of the Merlin iPhone game. This thing I don't even know where to begin.

As an example, when you fight Nimue, the image is actually Morgana holding a dagger.

Merlin's like every worthless cleric you've ever had in your party. When Arthur can do 30 hit points with a freaking mace, Merlin can do like 3 with a FIREBALL.

I'm going to try and do a proper review, but I'm going to have to sleep on it. Right now I'm trying to figure out the best way to tell people that they shouldn't waste their money, unless they're that kind of completest.

...this may in fact be enough. WTF.

I'm so annoyed with how worthless Merlin is in the game. The only advantage he has is that he has more points to do his special moves then Arthur does. But since none of his spells do anything he just sucks up your healing potions, and diverts damage from Arthur.

Now, they may have changed the entire concept of the show since last I looked, but I seem to recall most of the episodes going 'Arthur does something, sometimes well-intentioned, sometimes just stupid, crisis happens, Merlin does something phenomenally powerful and saves the day without anyone noticing.' This seems...a bit contradictory in comparison with the game.

Especially given that show Merlin seems to have like infinite hit points on the show where Arthur only has like 5 given his tendency towards unconsciousness.

Also, I'm sad that Merlin's lightening attack doesn't do extra damage to "Nimue".

Hahah, yes.

::ARTHUR has been lightly tapped on the head!::

::ARTHUR will be unconscious for the rest of the melee unless you use a PACK OF HEALING HERBS.::

They should have just hired us. We've all ready made the game a billion times better.

Also, I really need to get off my butt and get some Merlin icons already.

I confess, smug Uther is appropriate for many, many purposes.

It really really is.
