Kinda neat arpg. Mostly interesting in terms of what it accomplishes for its time rather than anything else. You have a pseudo-zelda 1 combat with spells and rpg-lite elements on top, but enemies are pretty slow and not so interesting to fight for a while. The bosses are cool but a lot of the game ends up being rather grindy in terms of pacing, continuously beating easy enemies up as you go (why shouldn't you? it gives you xp) and challenge doesn't really stay consistent.

If you're looking for a retro slice of arpg life it's worth looking at, but of course, it hasn't aged too well now so skippable otherwise.
