Description
It's a top-scroller that uses a "Your move-My move" system. This is multiplied about 30 times because every enemy on the level is allowed a move for every one of yours, but they don't all know where you are right away. It has a good and somewhat optional storyline, for the replay factor. When you create a new character you can distribute ability points between three characteristics, and select their gender and name. The levels and weapon abilities are randomly generated for an extremely high replay value.

Subject: One of the all time greats when this came out...
The game plays a lot like a rogue-like game, where you moved in directions and you auto attacked creatures that were in your way. So long as you didn't die, you gained experience and were able to move further into the game. The graphics were very basic, but gameplay was very easy to learn.
Seeing this game here brings back such memories when I actually took the time to buy/order the game for $10 (At the time) to get the 2nd part. RPG games just don't get much easier than this game.
