Yolanda is a fastpaced, even
frantic platformer with a difficulty level only the extremely hardcore could
face. You are cast as the daughter of Hercules who's beauty has made the
goddess Hera envious of her. Hera has placed a curse on Yolanda so that
any man who falls in love with her will die within a week. The only way
to stop the curse is if Yolanda completes 12 tasks like her father did.
Dispite the dangers Yoland decides to set out and complete the tasks so
that the curse will be lifted.
When starting a game you are asked to choose a difficulty level, wimp which
gives you 7 lives and you can play the game normally. Hero mode gives you
4 lives and the level will change once you die so you will not have time
to adjust to a level. Legend mode is extreme as it only gives you a single
live to complete the entire game!
Each of the twelve tasks consists of severals levels, each of these is a
single screen filled with monsters, platforms, ropes and whatnot and it's
your goal to get to the beast which turns into the exit. This isn't an easy
task though because just touching a monster will instantly kill you not
to mention that most of the platforms, including the one you start on!,
will catch fire a few seconds after you stand on them. Don't expect to fight
back either because the only options you have are running and jumping around.
The difficulty level you select will make things even harder because when
you die you are send to another level which prevents you from learning a
level too quickly if at all.
Graphically there's nothing to write home about either, the characters are
very small and not very detailed. Many of the jumps you make have to be
pixelperfect or you fall off, the only good thing is that high falls won't
kill you instantly. There is only one sound effect in the game as far as
I can tell which is your dying scream and it's very annoyingly high pitched
or it might be that I just heard it too many times and got tired of it.
Musically there also only one track and it's a fastpaced one but it's not
too bad.
Sometimes, and really too many times, you come across games where you wonder
what the developer was thinking when he was making it. Yoland is such a
game, it has some good ideas but executed in such a way that makes the game
incredibly frustrating. The difficulty level is extreme because of the hard
jumps and the fact that the platform you begin on catches fire only a few
seconds after you start the level which is unheard of. Are there any redeeming
features then? Well dispite all the flaws I found myself trying the game
again more than a couple of times which is most likely due to the difficulty
level which is rare these days. If you fancy a (huge) challenge then give
it a try but for most people this will be too frustrating to play for any
length of time.
Overal rating: 4/10
