Original Game and Original Combat System.
GAME PLAY . It is the key feature of the game it is so special
*(you choose one of 4 characters Barbarian,Knight,Dwarf and Amazon each character have its own starting level which is related to the character itself)*
And What Makes this game so unique is its Combat System
*(after playing the game i searched for any other games with the same combat system but i couldn't find any)*
you can make 4 basic attacks using a direction key and attack key and these basic attacks animations vary according to the weapon you are using also each weapon have its own combo
*(it is preferred to lock on enemy while doing combos)*
besides each character have its own abilities that can be done with his specialized type of weapons
*(Barbarians uses:long swords and long axes, Dwarf uses:Axes ,Hammers and Clubs , Knight uses:Swords and maces while amazons uses:spears ...also all characters can use Bow)*
also the stamina system might make you think before you attack so it is not just a plan hack and slash game ,the game might be a little hard but that if u just fight without tactics
*(knights are smart and usually wait for you to attack first while apes are stupid and slow also when you fight a skeleton it is preferred to use a mace or a club while it is preferred to fight zombies with swords and axes) *
And if all that is not enough there is life drawing weapons ,Poisoning weapons ,fire and ice weapons.
The Graphics are way advanced for a 2001 game and the Soundtrack/Sound effects really draw you into the game and i find them still appealing after all these years
