Introduction
First of all, this game features only four characters, but they have different innate strategies dependig on what type of gamer you are. Hit-them-with-magic-from-a-distance is the wizard. Tank-like-powerhouse is the warrior. Light-yet-close-range-tactition is the elf. And the Specops type overall player is the valkyrie.
Graphics |

Beautiful graphics. Dungeons are dingy. Well designed enemies (especially the sorrows) The tones of color always seem to fit the level which really helps you enjoy the game. After all who wants to fight pirates dressed in nothing but pink. I would stare more than kill.
Sound |
 |
Battle sounds are okay, but the narrators voice could use a little help. Ex; When you open a suspicios looking chest and the Grim Reaper pops out, you will realise he says, "Death has a beard" (death has appeared) It doesnt really matter but it's great to make fun of.
Gameplay |
 |
I love the stoyline and the controlls make sense. Great game if you're a button masher. Cool and clever puzzles too. I do suggest co-op because when you perform mandatory actions any attack will stop you. Always have someone there to get your back.
Lastability |
 |
The game is a bit on the short side. Easy to beat in only one non-insomnia induced sitting, but the replay value rocks. Highly addictive. At least you can "grind". Which is where you stand in one spot where enemies keep regenerating and kill them until satisfied with exp.
Overall |
 |
Great game. The only way it can look crappy is if it's compared to Halo 2 but thats another review. The only downsides are tiny touch-ups that don't matter unless you're really persnickety. A great game for anyone.
Final Score : 68 %
