Sabre Wulf (2004 video game)

Sabre Wulf is a platform game for the Game Boy Advance, a sequel to the original Sabre Wulf, developed by Rare and published by THQ in 2004.

Sabreman ended up banishing the evil Wulf as he was ravaging a nearby town, using the magical amulet. The townspeople then erected a statue of the wolf, and used the amulet to seal him inside it. Things went smoothly for a while, until Mad Scientist Dr. Dolittle-Goode came into the picture. Having tried to seize the land for years, he finds out about the Wulf and releases him, breaking the amulet into eight parts. Now both join forces to terrorize, conquer the lands and steal anything they want from various bystanders. Desperate, the Mayor of Blackwyche Village seeks out Sabreman to deal with the evil duo.

This Sabre Wulf is a more straightforward Puzzle Platformer, as Sabreman now has a host of small Monster Allies which assists him with their different abilities (jump higher, create platforms, move obstacles, etc). Besides the amulet parts, Sabreman gets involved in several Fetch Quests trying to recover the objects (or people) Wulf has stolen. Once said article is found, the Wulf wakes up and the player must run away back to the entrance before the wolf can catch him.

Tropes used in Sabre Wulf (2004 video game) include:

Sabreman: Can't you [save the Mayor]? You are soldiers, after all.
Soldier: Us? Not likely, we only joined up for the uniform. Girls are very partial to a man in uniform, you know.

  • Collection Sidequest: The colored orchids the guy in the starting town asks you to find for his girl. Each one of them is obtained by a Fetch Quest of their own, too.
  • Cool Airship: Dolittle-Goode uses a hot air balloon as means of transportation.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Sabreman tends to dip into these, specially when everyone keeps reminding him that he's "their only hope".

Sabreman: It's always me, isn't it?
