Power Piggs of the Dark Age is a 2D

Sega Mega Drive version was planned but never released.[3]

Gameplay

Confronting the first boss of the game.

The video game takes place during the

medieval weapon and uses it to defeat minor enemies that lie in his path.[4] However, the actual released version of the game featured only one playable character, Bruno, in spite of all three still appearing on the title screen.[5]

The first stage is a typical medieval town but it only gets more surreal from there.

Doughnuts are seen as food in the game for the main characters.[4] One of the main characters is a knight named Bruno; his secondary weapon happens to be pastries that explode on contact with the enemy.[6]

Several in-game passwords help to reveal a mini-game in addition to hidden messages within the coding of the game itself.[7]

Reception

Doctor Devon of GamePro praised the player character's move set, the cartoon-style graphics, the humorous sound effects, and the fast-paced music, though he acknowledged that Power Piggs of the Dark Age lacks the sophistication of some of the more recent platform games.[8]

Allgame gave the game a score of 3 stars out of a possible 5, with the reviewer offering some praise for the game's graphics.[9]
