Impressive for such a small game
I'm a Bard's Tale (the CRPG, you heathens!) and M&M veteran, so this piqued my interest. With no actual clue where to start, of course I rolled my own party! It plays quickly, has a decent map, and is balanced more for fun play. It is pretty accessible, with some good ideas like the use of sailing. You get to the main quest fairly quickly and you get a lot of hints. Side quest tracking is fairly easy and follows the old rule of "talk to everyone" :) Overall, the amount of combat was time consuming, but not overly hard. The seemingly endless walls of monsters in some areas can initially seem intimidating, but right up until the end, there is always somewhere else where you can level up a bit. Only three minor criticisms to bear (your choice of bear) in mind for Amberland 3 :) 1. Environmental damage areas got old very fast, and having to switch items/resistances. 2. The random nature of the equipment vendor rolls did mean some of my characters were lacking equipment to match the increase in combat difficulty, but I still managed. 3. More secrets please!
