Checking out
because its fan translated now. Never played one of these.
After dying you talk to a friendly ghost
He directs you to a hall of heroes where you pick which warriors to thaw out of big blocks of ice
I couldnt resist Wuuf!
Or Hissssa
Literally Red Sonja
And Gothmog the goth boi wizard
Hes sooo dark ooo spooky.
So far Gothmog just casts light over and over after the torch ran out. No idea how you are supposed to see shit without a wizard
Sonja and Hissssa swing the swords and Wuuf throws a ninja star… that stick in monster and has to be picked up and re equipped every fight.
Raar dont take my food and weapon pile!
I need a pic but the other monster type encountered so far is a very Kings Field looking plant monster.
A rock! a switch! A puzzle!
You move around in 3d with smoothness and at a high frame rate. You are not locked to a grid. I was able to sidle around a floor spanning switch. There is a run you activate by double tapping. With it off the game is unbearably slow.
There is hunger and thirst. Hp and magic recover by walking. You can summon a cursor to interact with switches or pick up, keep and and throw objects. Then there is the magic. You have to sort of make it yourself out of 3 wheels of runes. I found a light magic scroll with one run indicated and guessed a second to make it work. You have a walking formation with the front row doing meelee and the back limited to magic and ranged weapons. There are a lot of menus but the game uses the whole saturn pad to short cut a lot of it and an hour or 2 in Im getting pretty fast with it. That said having to re-equip thrown items and picking up every object on the floor one at a time is tedious.
The pace is pretty dang slow but Im somehow still enraptured. There is nearly no music. Which is a real bummer. Guess Im supposed to play my heavy metal records over it or something. Im hoping things get a bit more varied soon…
