It's easy to scoff at the early use of 3D polygons blending with 2D sprites but this was released in 1995. It utilizes the systems strengths of polygonal textures, multiple camera angle choices, and a unique time-lapse feature. The battle system is to the point with your usual turn-based style although having obstacles like trees and shrubs in the way where you must plan your next move or attack.

Your journey begins right away- you quickly become familiar with the menus, towns, and map. Average story-line that progresses with the allies you meet. At times becomes predicable, and is lacking optional side missions. Majority of the caves are linear with a few routes leading to hidden treasures but nothing additional. The soundtrack is a major stand-out and high point of the game as well.

Overall a quaint role-playing game on your quest to rescue your master and defeat Death Shadow.

It's easy to brush this off as an un-finished tech demo compilation complete with previews of upcoming games by WARP- but it is complete if you give it time. Ring-out gameplay by shooting your opponent in order to stun them then rushing towards your opponent to bump them off the stage to win. Each map has random item such as lightning, poison, kisses with unique attributes. Later levels have teleport portals to maneuver on-coming attacks. Average gameplay including 2P multiplayer mode with a solid frame-rate.

Addictive gameplay especially in 2-player multiplayer mode. Essentially a capture the flag objective- by running into, tagging your opponent you can regain access to flags. You have have a unlimited gun attack that slows your opponent down, no life bars in this game instead whoever reaches the flag goal wins. Several magic abilities you can use by collecting according colored pellets scattered throughout the stage; speed increase, teleport to nearest re-spawn station, and slow attack to slow down your rival. Average audio, music, cut scenes, with slightly above average gameplay and graphics that get the job done. Plenty of levels, only negative critique is you cannot unlock bosses to play as in 2-player mode, and the stage select is random.

One of the pioneers in the genre to use use fully rendered 3D environments and character models opposed 3D pre-rendered graphics. Good puzzle solving, trial and error pace complete with unique death animations. Short but sweet experience that includes a good introduction and ending cut scene that ties the story together. Would have been a low score for its abysmal frame rate due to lack of hardware knowledge and or hardware limitations. Since I completed it on emulation I was able to boost CPU speed allowing for smoother gameplay in that case would be a higher score.
