I came across this game only after I had played Day of the Tenticle and the Monkey Island games. I'm grateful that this one exsists because of what followed but playing this game is very different to the golden age of Lucasarts adventure games.
My only complaints are the draw distance and the flight controls. Yes yes it's an old game but in my head you could see much further then the fog allows. Niggling complaint on the controls you can't hover up or down. To change altitude you have to be moving. Those out of the way the game is good fun, fighting to control mana and build up your castle. It can be touch later on to take on the mages, not because they are dangerous to you just that they are really hard to kill and annoying when trying to claim your mana.
