Gameplay

Elf is a game in which Cornelius goes on a quest to rescue Elisa.[1]

Reception

Leah Wesolowski reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "While the musical score is nice, it does not make up for Elf's lack of finesse. Perhaps a trip to the guillotine is fitting for this Elf."[1]

Tom Malcom for Info remarked on the detail and fast pace of the game, and concluded that "If you appreciate fine graphics and frantic gameplay, you'll love Elf."[4]

Ciaran Brennan for The One for Amiga Games praised the game, calling it "A beautiful puzzle game with astonishing hidden depths".[5]

Ed Ricketts for ST Format enjoyed the graphics and gameplay, and felt that the game kept him occupied.[3]

Damian Slee for Amiga Action liked the graphics and sound, and felt that "If you're after a good action game that requires a little bit of thinking power as well, this is definitely the one for you."[2]
