Sdaw is a 1990 action-adventure video game developed by Lankhor. It was created by Fabrice Caillaud, Lionel Caillaud, and Arnaud Dewilde.[1]
Plot
The world has been destroyed by a global disaster (World War III), and most of the humans have turned into mutants. A few survivors created a perfect robot named S.D.A.W. (System de Defense Anti-Wobblegobbledigook). Players take control of S.D.A.W. and live in sewers. They have been given a mission to clean the area of its unwanted occupants by restraining and disarming them.[2]
Gameplay
The game's interface consists of a view in the center and action buttons at the bottom of the screen. The player navigates through the sewers by using N, S, E, and W buttons in the bottom-left side of the screen. Other buttons trigger abilities like searching through the player's inventory and examining the surroundings.
Development
The game has a 16 colour palette and the game world's labyrinth has around 200 screens.[2] The game's use of "mode 0" allowed for graphics that were very difficult to find at the time.[3]
Reception
The game received an 82% from Amstrad 100%,[4] 60% from Joystick,[5] and Tilt gave it a B.[6]
MicroNews felt that a bit of extra care to the design, for instance in its animations, would have livened up the game.[7]
