Forsaken Island

4/5.
This is just an amazing idea. Combine point and click games with RPG. Too bad it's so short and doesn't have any real puzzles.

-there were trees there outside, why not start cutting those?
-why does the empty bottle disappear after using the filled vial?
-what is gold good for and where are those goods the blacksmith wants?
-reviving after dying inside the castle might cause a roof crash outside
-could make the crystal holding pillars have 1 slot for their inventory

I just tried this. The second room inside the building gave me some bats to fight. One was spitting at me, seemingly in a spot my paladin couldn't melee it. Maybe it had a maximum range and I could have led it away, but instead I charged it, killed it, and got stuck. 'twas a promising but all too brief adventure

Please make more rooms, more mobs max level 15 perhaps. It feels kinda unrewarding not being able to fight a bit more with our maxed out character. Besidies that this is fantastic 9/10.
Thank you for this wonderful map!

Enjoyably simple. Forsaken Island is a great example of how Warcraft 3 can be utilized to tell a short yet compelling story through the adventure/RPG genre.

The map is best played with a 4:3 aspect ratio and with Classic graphics since it was created prior to Warcraft 3's official 16:9 support.

Minor bugs occur when you accidentally complete a task out of order, which can prevent the full completion of the map. That being said, I view this as a minor grievance given the nature and purpose of the map's creation.

I completed this map will all three characters and found it to be an enjoyable and unique experience with each. I give this map a 5/5 and felt that it reignited the passion and joy I felt around custom map creations when Warcraft 3 was still a new game.

-Played on 1.27 game version-

A great mini RPG map with top tier atmosphere (both visuals & sounds)


a couple of minor points :

-it's a bit weird to have the ship floating on the rocks before the shipwreck

-the english is questionable but understandable and the story is not that important, so it's no biggie

-maybe I'm blind but I had to go in the editor to find out the bag for the side quest is a couple of feet from the wreck. I just didn't expect it to just spawn from the ether on the first "scene" and searched everywhere else ... which mean I did the whole map without a weapon or a way to use gold and it's way harder (unless the archer is really OP).
BTW I almost didn't see the cape either because the bag model is the same color as the scenery

-you can go into the right wall in the bedroom

-I died in the lavatory, put a crystal on the way while coming back, got attacked by 2 dreadlords as usual... and the 2 last zombies came to attack me through the wall
