Charming and way ahead of its time. The combat is hectic fun and the world is cleverly designed to seem more complex and open than it actually is despite being, in the end, pretty short and linear. Wish there was more than one enemy type, although their behaviors vary noticeably, and that's cool.

I'm always surprised that more games of the day didn't really try to build on this.
