Impressions: |
A fantasy RPG utilizing the same scrolling isometric world scheme as Populous,
but not as successfully. In addition, the colors are garish and animation is awfully
jerky. The authors were obviously inspired by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings
trilogy but their enthusiasm did not seem to spill over into making a good game. In fact,
the hidden "Easter egg" may be the best thing about it. |
