Nice review, I liked it. Talking about story not having importance – I didn’t even know the main character was an elf, although of course, his appearance on the title screen hints at that heavily.
Yes, those disciples of D’Sparil are probably the most annoying enemies, due to the combination of their free flight and the rather damaging attack.
Have you ever paid attention to their voices? It is the same reversing trick used for the final boss of Doom II (and countless games since).
