Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
This game has the addictive core gameplay loop of any open world RPG down pat.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
15 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
The open world is satisfying to explore, the lore and sidequests were interesting, and combat remained engaging throughout the game's runtime (though I did find a few violet spells to be a bit overpowered).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
It has colorful tiles that grow on you the more you play, a surprising amount of dialogue considering this was made for the TI99/4A, and a massive world with a lot of interesting maps (some of which are fiendishly designed) to explore and secrets to find.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
11 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Its limited color palette, straightforward interface, methodical exploration, and minimal hand-holding feel like genuine products of an earlier gaming era.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals are colorful and very readable (for the most part, there's a few issues where large boss tier enemies share the same enemy icon as a smaller less threatening variant).
