I have an eternal soft spot in my heart for this game. Tony Jay's narration is totally unbeatable.

Fantastic game, a truly hidden gem. Voice acting, jokes and songs are the highlight, but the gameplay itself is really solid too. Its still smooth and responsive and gives a lot of fun.

A mostly competent early ARPG. Fun enough, despite some rough patches, and while it does show its age when it comes to the menus and options, even as a remastered version, it still holds up well enough to play. The voice work is good, the songs are decent, but there is a strange lack of music overall.

The story and art is very good, It's an unique game worthy of being played. But for the restricted view, certain repeated rather long spell animations, and some unnecessary fustrations it would have been a masterpiece. But again, it's a very interesting experience. Disclosure: being 69 y.o. I use my own C.E. tables in every game I play. Here: health, magic, attributes over the permisible cap, xp, miners timer, et al, so my enjoyment of the game isn't the usual. I wouldn't play or finish many of my games if I had to grind as designed.

While the graphics or the gameplay haven't really stood the test of time, the snarky storytelling of a horny drunkard's adventure is top notch.
