    I thought about starting this review countering all those negative reviews talking about money, controller support and the ****......but it is not fair. I'll start talking about this fantastic old game....which not every mind can evidently sustain. This is a labirinth game. it is designed to make you lose your way, confuse and upset you. As every labirinth ever constructed (and deserving the name) every corridor appears the same with few changings (mostly traps). This is the goal of the…

    ok guys i know this game is old and runs off an dos box emulator, but from all the reviews i have read im gonna try n help out make things a bit easier for this classic, its not revamped it is literally the 1993 release of this game made for dos back in the 90's the game is challenging, hard and annoying at times but the age old question is? whats the dam keys? well i downlaoded the original manual and found that the 2,4,6,8, on the numpad are the keys for walking around, and the action keys…

    It's never too late to enjoy playing DOS base games like this... Nice game, but i don't agree with the price, it's a little bit expensive on a classic DOS base game. But I give this game a thumbs up. I enjoyed it.

    A good old classic with an acquired taste. Yes, the game is hard, but it pays of in good ol' fun and gniffels. I mean come on.... using a pin to stick it to the sumo wrestler??? :-D Controles aren't broken or anything, you use "X" and "Z" to attack and the arrows to move. Nothing more, nothing less. Yes the graphics are from the great beyond, but for me personally that doens't matter, the game is as fun as it was when I played it on CD-I

    You might remember this game if you're at least 20+ and somehow remember the glorious DOS times. Maybe you even enjoyed this game, but let's be honest, it's a crime to sell games like this today. Stuff like Litil Divil should be already in public domain, but no - we will wrap it into DosBox and grab some additional cash. Oh well, this rant is a cheap rant, cause I got it for free and I bet you too, but hey, it's a modern trend and we better oppose it.

    I bought this immediately because I used to own a copy back in the 90's and loved this game back then. Although the animations/framerate may be considered less than ideal by modern standards, I find that it has aged reasonably well. It's a nice little old-school blend of various puzzle/action/platform minigames tied together by increasingly complicated trap-filled labyrinth levels. The game has a lot of humor and charm, while being reasonably difficult (whether it's for the right reasons or not…

    Litil Divil was a Gremlin title for PC, CDi and Amiga CD32, though there were plans for #AtariST, #SNES and SEGA #MegaDrive versions as well as others. Console editions went with a platformer style game - some rare SNES screens have been located. More at: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/liti...

    A well made labyrinth game. I Remember seeing my neighbor playing this game in 1999 (Game was released 1993)! The game is a huge challenge. The entire game you will be running in this maze collecting utilities along the way and dodging traps. Objective to the game is to retrieve the Mystical Pizza of Plenty, but you must find out the riddles to all of the doors which makes this game hard. Each riddle will be fustrating and you will end up dieing and dieing but thats what makes the game…

    Boo! This was a fav of mine back in the Amiga days so why release a classic in less than its original state? I can let the graphics not being updated but the controller support... well... It sucks. I think I saw mention from another reviewer on this issue. Sure I could use the keyboard but I want to use my controller just like I did when I played it all those years ago. The problem is I am running a Windows 7 system and whoever released this did so by using the floppy disc PC version…

    Got Lost: Wing Litil Divil is game made by Gremlin Graphics, game is about unlucky Devil named Mutt that was sent into Labyrinth of Chaos to retrieve (I know this will sound ridiculous) the Mystical Pizza of Plenty. Game was released on 23th of May 1993 on Amiga console, and yes, this is port from Amiga, but we'll return to it later. Important Notes There is no tutorial in this game. You start it, watch/skip short cut-scene, and play. (Controls - Arrows + Z and X). This is the true essence of…

    It's just... bad. I grew up in the age of DOS games, and I wouldn't have played this as a child, either. After ragequitting twice, I discovered the following: Direction controls: Arrow keys or 2,4,6,8 on the numeric keypad. Fire buttons: Z and X. It fails to mention that you need to press the direction you want to attack, to attack, but with the poor controls aside, the playability is low. The labyrinth is hard to navigate and the visibility of traps is poor. There may be a lot of…

    So much love for this game, i still have it on the Philips CDI but can never be bothered setting it up so i was so glad you see that it was on steam. Played this game quite a lot when i was younger but never got far because i wasn't really sure what to do and always got lost and confused. Oh well now i have it on Steam, this is the perfect chance for me to playthrough this game Also this seems very different to the CDI version, maybe this is taken from the Amiga version

    Ok, this is hard, but after some deep thought I can't recommend this game. Look, the idea behind it is really good, it mixes some labyrinth exploration, some adventure, some puzzle solving, some arcade mini-games, some fighting-action, all coated with a gorgeous cartoon aesthetic... but its execution has a number of problems that sooner or later, will probably frustrate you, block you and anger you, making you abandon the game. I was able to get to level 4, but I just can't go on anymore. I…

    Great cartoon graphics in the ‘Looney Tunes’ style and catchy upbeat music, but the poor controls and obtuse game design make this a lesson in patience rather than enjoyment. Fine for nostalgia, but not a good game.

Non c'ho capito nulla, nessun menù iniziale, tasti strani (anche se usuali per l'epoca) e nulla di nulla. Sinceramente certi giochi dovrebbero essere gratuiti.

    I think this game is unique. Perhaps i'm too unexperienced but I have never seen anything like it, yet it feels like I know it. It has something about it. I'm loving the 'litil' animations and suffering each time he's hurt. Don't be discouraged for not finding the menus or the wacky weird controls at first - guides if you must u.u

    ADVENTURES are close to RPG, but without experience points and level-ups. I’d start with the one I like a lot - Litil Divil (1993). I couldn’t finish it due to game error, but the game is super fun. Black humor, clever puzzles, neat graphics, deadly traps, addictive gameplay. #oldgames #videogames

    I did not own the Amiga Computer as a kid. And therefore there isn't any nostalgia here. The main issue of this game is the bad port. You will be stuck with the terrible resolution. And of course, some truly horrible controls. Spamming Z or X buttons just ain't fun, tho. It's a piece of history, this came out in 1993. But still: The port is just sad, barely playable. I honestly didn't manage to finish the game. This was a unique retro experience for sure. Unfortunately: I can't recommend…

    Cuphead + Binding of Isaac + Dark Souls + 1993 = This game! As many reviews say, this is a flawed port, but an awesome game nonetheless. I can't recommend it to everyone, but it's a pretty entertaining (and unique, specially for its time) gameplay experience. 15/10 IGN.

Now Dos games are pretty good theres some amazing ones out there but this game is like a crusty turd. Yeah the artstyle is cool but the game is jusr full on crap.
