Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator(s): Aoba47 (talk) 00:50, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In truth, Wrath of the Darkhul King is a rather unremarkable video game. It has all the standard elements of a typical platformer and action games—so a lot of jumping around, beating up enemies, and solving rudimentary puzzles—but this time, it is told with a generic Buffy the Vampire Slayer story, in which Buffy Summers must yet again stop an apocalyptic event. The game received negative reviews and fell into obscurity, even for Buffy fans. Despite this, I still enjoyed working on this article. As always, any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Aoba47 (talk) 00:50, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologise, this seems an appropriate notification to editors whom you could reasonably assume to have some interest in the nomination. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to support again. I note that there's some quite extensive discussion of Buffy video games in this recent open access book, but it seems to focus on the 2002 game, only mentioning this one in passing. I'm honestly surprised there's not more academic work mentioning this game, but I suppose that just indicates how 'unremarkable' it is. (It looks like it's never been mentioned in the Buffyology journal Slayage, for example.) Josh Milburn (talk) 11:46, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review (pass)

  • The images are licensed appropriately, include alt text, and provide context where appropriate.
  • Use of non-free images in the Gameplay section seems to be justified and (IMO) provides illustrative reference to better aid readers about the game. Pseud 14 (talk) 16:50, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
