What players say

I had so much fun playing this game when I was younger!!! Unfortunately it's abandoned and the late game got really boring. I felt soo let down when I conquered the last castle and just nothing happened.

Bit short if you play too aggressive, but a fun game nontheless. Better off playing slowly.

The games chill tbh, switch brain off kinda thing. The annoying parts is the camera going everywhere, it should just stay on your character or just move a little. other then that itsd cruisy
