    The graphics are sparse, and long attack animations make control slow to respond, but RPG elements mix well with the action to make a satisfying adventure. [Nov 2003, p.156]

    Fantasy RPG that chooses arcade-style combat over the more traditional turn-based affair. This makes it more like Gauntlet with nobs on andFantasy RPG that chooses arcade-style combat over the more traditional turn-based affair. This makes it more like Gauntlet with nobs on and the fact that you can return to the point where you were last killed at will makes it all a bit of a button-bashing level-grind. Not a bad arcade adventure but not in the same league as Final Fantasy and Zelda. Full Review »
