Very weird ending, I guess I failed to stop the bad guy ??
Overall, a very enjoyable game, with a few issues
Cons
1) manual is poor on explanations of game mechanics
2) balance is OK, but not great: game is VERY hard at beginning, generally gets progressively easier, but with discrete steps of diffeculty as monsters are 'upgraded' or you get new spells/skill. Skill step level seems large. Was VERY EASY at end: 2 or 3 sword hits to kill most monsters
3) a lot of mouse use required, although targeting with CTRL key helps for melee attacks at least
4) Didn't like the cliff hanger ending
Pros
1) Like the skill system, lots of options, gives good re-play value
2) Sounds are very good: music, effects (voice acting is mediocre though)
3) good graphics, especially for age!
4) Gameplay was fun
5) Pretty bug free and stable; I think I had about 5 or 6 crashes total, most when trying to pick up an item I couldn't see; but it did crash 'hard'; needed to re-boot Win7 a few times.
overall I rate it 8/10, would have been 9/10 except for ending!!
