This games ok, but if you are looking for a lengthy, story driven RPG I would pass!
The story itself really never game through for me. This may be possibly because I could never get a feeling for any of the characters. I never saw the 'hero,' unless you consider one of the gallery images you collect during your adventures. Nearly every NPC had the same model of a dwarf. Even the king of the dwarves was the same. The only thing that differentiated himself was his different colored hat.
Fighting in the game was pretty interesting. There was quite a few different weapons, that pretty much did the same thing. Strategy did have to be employed in some instances however. Sadly, though, the best strategy I found was to back myself into a corner so that I could not get double teamed. This is really how the majority of the more challenging battles went.
The graphics were fun, sprite based, reminded me of the first Doom. There is an obvious comparison, because Id developed this game as well as the Doom series. I also felt a little reminiscent with the surroundings as well. Most of the game is played in corridor like settings, e.g. Doom, so it got a little boring near the end.
Overall, this was a fun game. That I devoted time too. Since it was a gift I'm glad that I played through it. However, if I did spend the $19.99 retail price for it, I would have felt cheated, even at that price. If you are a fan of the retro-turn based games, then you might want to seek this one out. However, if you a looking for a little more depth in a game then this probably wouldn't be your best bet!
