Introduction

Let’s dive into the pixelated depths of Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth — a game that sounds like it was birthed from a D&D adventure that got a bit too rowdy at the tavern. You’re basically a high elf named Deedlit (who must be the butt of a lot of bad puns at the elven pub) exploring a labyrinth that will have you collecting items, defeating bosses, and scratching your head at some perplexing puzzles. Spoiler alert: you might find yourself asking, ‘Did I really just have to pick that path or is this game messing with me?’ Spoiler for the spoiler: it is. Strap in, folks. It’s going to be a whimsical ride.

Gameplay

In Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, you play as Deedlit, who is either going through a midlife crisis or just trying to track down some lost spirits. Who knows? But what I do know is that she explores a labyrinth that seems to borrow its map from a 1990s coffee shop layout. The gameplay mixes the classic Metroidvania style with RPG elements, allowing you to swap between two elemental spirits: Sylph (the wind one, who is probably always having a breezy time) and Salamander (the fire one—because who doesn’t love burning stuff?). Each spirit alters your abilities and lends itself to various puzzle mechanics. Be careful; just like a knight trying to kiss a dragon (a bad idea), each spirit can have enemies immune to its elemental attacks. Get ready for some trial and error! The game lovingly updates your map as you uncover parts of this labyrinth, ensuring you can get lost in style.

Visually, Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a pixel art lover’s dream. The environments are cultivated with a nostalgic touch that screams 'retro,' and the animations are so smooth you'd think they were olive oil sliding down a hot pan.

Developer Team Ladybug clearly had a blast creating these mesmerizing landscapes, and honestly, it’s worth just wandering around for the eye candy.
