Graphics: The graphics in this game aren't that good. It seems they tried
to combine the graphics of Dragon Warrior (Almost exactly) and Zelda.
However, the enemies just aren't as alive as they are in those games
and the quality is really, really bad. I should have given them a 0 for
copying graphics.
Sound: The music is very bad. The map song is only approximately 15
seconds long and repeats over and over. On top of that, it sounds amazingly
like Indian Jones' music. The sound effects are very lame too.
Gameplay: Hydlide just can't stop copying games, however the idea of
this game is pretty original, though definitely a copy of Ultima. You
play as this guy and must go around a screen similar to how Zelda's is.
Your fight stance is set on defense and you must hold down A in order
for it to switch to fight. Then, you just repeatedly walk into enemies
in order to attack them. This game is an RPG and one of the few RPGs
I've never heard of. You can also collect Magic to use, but I didn't force
myself to play this game that long. The controls are pretty good and
responsive in this game, which is good if you're picky about a game like I am.
Hardness factor: This game was about average for an RPG. It starts
out easy and enemies get progressively harder, just like most RPGs.
Anyway, you may have to do just a little leveling up, but not tons in
this game.
Overall: 3 out of 10. I've never heard of this game before, but that is
probably because not a lot of people liked this game enough to mention
it. This game got a bad vibe for a reason.
