The combat, is pretty bad. Like, really pretty bad. It's slow and poorly laid out. The combat area is based on squares and you move a number of squares and if you have enough energy left in you, you can attack a guy, or try to, at least. Go out swinging! The figures are badly made with poor animations and you only hit a guy every third of fourth try. Your enemy hits you constantly. Never a miss. I only just about survived my first ever battle, which was against eight robbers. I only had 5 guys. And only two of them could attack with a weapon. What the hell?
Now, you may be getting ready to flame me. Some of you will have jumped down to the comment section and blazed off a few words of scorn already. But, let's be rational and think about this. Ok, so my characters probably missed because they were only level 1 and there is most likely a system that increases your accuracy the higher you build a skill of a talent. That's highly probable. Systems such as that are present on classics like Morrowind. But, despite how we have gone beyond Morrowind-esque games in to a better world of Skyrims, old school RPGs have their charm. My point, however, is that we don't need to regress, and if we do, we can surely do a better job than this poor plater of animal waste.
To be honest, I can't see how this is a remake. I tried to find the original that was released in '93 and could only find a wikipedia page. So, I have a theory. I don't think there is a remake. I think Crafty Studios (the clue is in the name) bought the rights, re-skinned the game, and re-released it to us fools who had forgotten about it. Prove me wrong, kids! Prove me wrong!
