Shiney but not worth the slog
The game starts well but is needlessly long and lacking in variety. The combat isn't awful but judging by the slew of enemies you have to chew through the designers thought it was a lot better and the while the characters are fun the RPG elements tend to be quite shallow. The game lets you choose what areas to explore first but the areas themselves tend to be very linear and the only way the difficulty varies is by throwing higher level versions of the same enemies at you in increasingly annoying unavoidable ambushes. Also on my computer the game tends to crash when I do something to surprise it like kiting all the enemies from one of those ambushes back to town. If you're looking for a dungeon crawling time-sink with modern-ish graphics then I'd recommend it. Otherwise the RPG selection on GOG is so deep it's quite hard to justify this option.
