This game has just the right surreal quality and atmosphere to make an unforgettable heroes journey through a Nordic rpg underworld landscape, just as you might have envisioned it back playing pencil and paper in the 90s and 80s. Although you may find the sword play clumsy, dont fret, the linear gameplay, atmosphere and monsters along with traps, underground streams, treasures, mazes, and strange environs makes the effort totally worth it. There is nothing phony here, its as good as it gets.
