A great game that holds up
Anvil of dawn is quite an intriguing game. It was nothing too spectacular back in its era, but it is worth looking at this game with a modern viewpoint. The character selection is quite diverse in race, and with two of the five heroes being women. The armour designs are also very respectful, with only changing proportion between your selected hero. The 3D graphics hold up rather well and do not disturb from the gameplay. Paired up with the masterfully drawn sprites, the aesthetics of the game bring up a rather gloomy and forboding warzone. The music may vary by taste, but it does it job and can sometimes add onto the feeling of bleakness or heroism. One thing to note is that the game doesn't hold your hand, but it's not hard to understand it, and it's a good entry game into the genre. You may get lost occasionally. Thankfully the game features one of the best map systems in any game period. Still, you may end up veering into a dungeon too hard for your current level. Where much stronger enemies and slow healing in a bleak ambient as Anvil of Dawn builds, creates a profoundly horrifying feeling of helplessness and triumph once you come through. Some of the enemies are indeed terrifying, but many others are beyond imaginative. Going from dungeon to dungeon is an experience of its own. Each one features a unique tileset and cast of enemies, ranging from highlanders to harpy men, bloated undead seamen and everything in between. The death animations of enemies are quite amusing to watch as well. You never linger too long in any dungeon and they don't feel drawn out. Slight variations in scenarios also encourage players to replay the game with different heroes and it doesn't feel like a tedious task as in some other games. All in all, Anvil od Dawn is a beautiful and fun game worth standing in any game collection.
