Development
editTomahawk was launched as a sister company to Coktel Vision in early 1989. Its first release, Emmanuelle, was negatively reviewed by critics. Legend of Djel previewed in Amiga Computing in August 1989. The sorcerer's daughter is visually based on the girlfriend of the game's graphic artist.[2]
Reception
editAmiga Computing criticised both the gameplay and story for being unoriginal.[3] Amiga Format felt the game had neither appeal nor depth.[4] The Retro Spirit thought it was "a bizarre creation only the French knows how to do".[5] The Games Machine felt the title was graphically and sonically impressive.[6][7]
