It's pretty bare-bone and passable for an isometric dungeon crawler, it has no music and little graphics. The story and quests aren't really captivating, or deep; they're even quite fetchy.
Agreeably, there are a few merits to this game:
Enemies variety is decent, while there are only so many sprites in the game, most enemies will alternate between casting or using melee weapons quite frequently; either cornering you or roaming. While the environment is undeniably lacky, there are quite a few miscellanies of traps, boulders, lava tiles and pits for the player to mind his surrounding and forget the bland scenery.
While it is definitely better than most gold box SSI games, it's still one of their worse games, not particularly interesting or innovative by 1992 standards. By then, you had games like Ultima VII, Might and Magic IV or even Darklands - all with an open world and better storytelling.
