History YMMV / Weaponlord

* SoBadItsGood: Despite its shortcomings, [[TropeCodifier plus several of the rather innovative features that became commonplace in later fighters]], ''Weaponlord'' has something of a {{cult|Classic}} following (being covered by the likes of [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Arin and Jon]] and especially [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay Matt and Woolie]] [[ColbertBump helped somewhat]]), as the game was designed to deliberately cater to veteran fighting game fans (and thus was very inaccessible to beginners).

* ItsHardSoItSucks[=/=]SoBadItsGood: Website/HardcoreGaming101 [[http://hg101.kontek.net/weaponlord/weaponlord.htm stated that]] ''Weaponlord'', while [[NintendoHard outrageously difficult]], filled with incredibly unconventional controls, and having a limited roster, also manages to be an outrageous experience and an actually nicely-assembled game despite its shortcomings.

* CompleteMonster: Divada, a ruthless killer [[spoiler: SelfMadeOrphan]], and, if she wins, a tyrant crueler than her predecessor. Zarak has, at the time of the game, instead become something of a NobleDemon, with at least ''some'' positive qualities.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Considering how [[NintendoHard insanely hard]] the game is, just beating the final boss ends up like this. [[http://weaponlord.crunchtimegames.com/ Game Producer James "DJames" Goddard]] even states that the scene where Zarak is beaten is practically what being the Weaponlord was about.
