Power Piggs of the Dark Age is a 2D action platformer video game for the Super NES.
Gameplay
The video game takes place during the Dark Ages. In control of a group of humanoid pigs, the player's object is to defeat a warlock named the Wizard of Wolff; a humanoid wolf with strange magical powers. Each of the Power Piggs was planned to use their own medieval weapon and uses it to defeat minor enemies that lie in his path.[3] However, the actual released version of the game featured only one playable character, Bruno, in spite of all three still appearing on the title screen.[4]
The first stage is a typical medieval town but it only gets more surreal from there.
Doughnuts are seen as food in the game for the main characters.[3] One of the main characters is a knight named Bruno; his secondary weapon happens to be pastries that explode on contact with the enemy.[5]
Several in-game passwords help to reveal a mini-game in addition to hidden messages within the coding of the game itself.[6]
Reception
Allgame gave the game a score of 3 stars out of a possible 5, with the reviewer offering some praise for the game's graphics.[7]
