Amazing Role playing game based on Norse Mythology.

User Rating: 9.8 | Castle of the Winds 1: A Question of Vengeance PC
This game is based on Norse Mythology and Legends (I found this out from the temple of Odin - Father of Thor). I found the game 'not so interesting' in the begining, but when i started to get into the game by fighting in the dungeon, the experience changed from boring to awesome. There was a point where I kept dying, but that was put to rest when i started using magic spells and scrolls. The amount of legendary monsters and enchanted weapons ovewhelmed me. You get to choose whether you are a male or a female character. Besides that you dont need to choose whether you are a magician or a warrior or any other type of character. this character can do the job of all, ie. fighting, magic attacks(the elemental bolts and the balls were my favorite). You can heal your self and mana by resting of use potions or use magic. You also get to collect copper, silver, gold,etc coins to add to your money purse to go back to your town and trade with shopkeepers.
At first i thought that this game ended with me reading the parchment at the last level in the caves under the mountains, but to my surprise, I got to go to another town which was more porsche. I got to fight newer monsters like manticores (Which were a real challenge). At the last level I had to avenge the death of my father by slaying the hill giant Hrungnir. It was cool to use the balls here as they bounced off the four ogres and Hrungnir himself. You need to apply weakness for his being hill type and I think thunder ball worked very well against them. I killed him and got the Aumlet of Kings which will unlock you to the next game in the series where you battle Surtur.
I liked the inventory section very much, it was long before Age of Empires and other revolutionary games came into existance, so i came to admire this interactive game.
Technically speaking, the graphics is ordinary. The animation is given to you in the form of descriptive text messages, so it is left to your imagination how the fight proceeds. There is not much sound either so it doesnt distract you from gaming freely. Epic games have put all the value in the gmae or rather Story line. This is one of the good games which have a cool story line of battle, blood and revenge!
