Take a sweet story in the alley of Alice in Wonderland, wrap it up into huge celtic vibe and awesome music, then for the gameplay you smash together pokemon and quake 3 arena, with cute faeries !
I don't care if the game did not get huge popularity, because for me it left a long lasting memory-print in my brain ! The hours i spent exploring this beautiful celtic world with its funny characters, searching for the perfect faeries (considering their affinity and their skills) to build my team and overcome the challenges on my way through the game...
It really was a genuine childhood vibe adventure even though i already was a grown up adult by the time the game was released... At that time, we would have no "pokemon styled" game on PC and then ? You bring me cute faeries, controlling them in some small arenas to play them like FPS style, improving them with experience of each combat and tailoring their skill set, while enjoying a fantasy colored nice universe ? How could one not be thrilled ?
This game is a kind of unique hybrid (of its own time of course; nowadays we get many cool indies with hybrid gameplays, thankfully) and for me, it had earned a rank of cult classic game ! Like another unique innovative game of roughly same time period, called Ghost Master (but this one is already on GOG, thankfully)
