Not sure who's reading this in 2024, but here goes. I'd recommend this title only if you're old enough to remember its launch; nostalgia carried me through much of this game I never got around to completing back in the early 00s. It's a decent enough title, but certainly a product of its time and relatively shallow in its mechanics and storyline. More of a 'get this off my backlog' run at about 9 hours on standard difficulty. The combat is pretty straight forward and click mashing, though there are some times that 'precision' seems to be required with no way to produce it. One key example is early in the game a skeletal enemy needs its head removed to expedite its death. Sometimes comes in a swing, sometimes a dozen. Blocking also seems quaint and offered little protection throughout my run. Just mash things to death and back up where possible. The game can spike your death suddenly at times but does do a decent job in most parts to get your health back up to full afterwards. Game threw a fit trying to run in UW resolutions so stick to 1080p; otherwise it ran fine on a brand new, 9800X3D, Win 11, late 2024 build. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: Within the last 10-15 minutes of the game, there's a cutscene that'll hard crash the game, hard enough to make getting Task Manager running to kill it nearly impossible. You'll know it when you find it. Save often, and when you reach this headache, upon reloading the game you just crashed out of and before hitting that spot (comes right after jumping from 2 vines with your 'boosted' character), head to the options for the audio settings and take the sound volume slider down to 0. Once past that cutscene you can reenable sound. Found this solution buried in a 10 year old Steam forum thread, but it worked. Probably safe to skip if you haven't played it already, and for completionists, there's no 100% this without help cheesing the multiplayer achievements in an ancient game, but I have spent time on worse titles.

I've loved this game ever since I was a kid. It's always been one of my favorite hack and slash dungeon crawlers. Every time I play it, it takes me back to that special place in my childhood.
