Volfied

What does the sample in the music say. "Insert" is the only thing I can make out...

This is certainly one of the 64's better releases, although really it should have a been a budget release.

The graphics are barely adequate, especially the enemy sprites look shapeless and very blocky.

Music is non existent apart from an average title screen tune.

Gameplay is too hard if you try to play the game properly. Getting an enemy trapped and killed is a very rare thing, so the only mechanic that works is to "cheat" by nibbling tiny sections until the level completes, which destroys any fun and point of playing.

Not only that but the difficulty curve is a mess. The first level being by far one of the hardest and subsequent levels get easier and harder randomly.

Slightly above average in all aspects. 6/10

Oh my goodness, this one came eons too late? In the 1990s it would have been OK for a CP Verlag budget-compilation release, but for full price?

Volfied

+ quality conversion with simple but nice gameplay

- would be even better with random power-up boxes
- quite difficult, but not impossible

9/10

With a much-needed graphical update and an abundance of coin-op firepower (large alien enemies, power-ups to spare, mean explosions), Volfied brings Qix to the 1990s in style. On the downside, it was never the deepest of genres, but what it lacks in profundity it makes up for in immediacy.

I love Qix-Games!!! Volfied is a great example for simple gameplay with tons of lastability! 10/10

The best Qix-clone I've played, ever!

One of my better memories from the "later" years of the sixtyfour. I got really hooked with this one, it was well done, obvious memory restrictions here and there but still serious fun. I completed the PC-version last year, but never got through the last level in this one...

Excellent Qix update that is drenched in style.
