Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The campaign's narrative, delivered with a perfect blend of sinister glee and biting wit, keeps you invested as you conquer the overworld one hapless kingdom at a time.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I would really love to see this remade to play better on modern PCs and take advantage of the greater graphics potential.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This game has great dark, tounge-in-cheek humour along with simple to learn gameplay and a tough but fair difficulty curve.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Thankfully, there's still multiplayer.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game’s audio design is equally stellar: ambient dungeon sounds, the wailing of prisoners, and the snide, sarcastic quips of the narrator create an atmosphere that’s simultaneously ominous and delightfully comedic.
