I played this game for the first time when I was eight. It left an impression on me that would eventually lead me to become the strategy fanatic that I am today. This game is old school turn based strategy at its finest. I still go back to this game when today's new games let me down. Be warned though, most battles will take a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time. You definitely get your money's worth from this game. My favorite part though is the forgiving battle system. If you botch a battle, it's not game over as long as you've hired another hero. Easily the best ten bucks I've almost ever spent.
