Haha, this is a hilarious review. All you’re basically saying is that you suck at the game and aren’t used to that type of approach. You’ve not even played the game properly here dude, this game takes years to finish and is designed that way, using guides & save states is touring the game not playing it. You are clearly WAY too used to the hand-holdy approach from other systems and eras, and really shouldn’t be reviewing retro games if you don’t even know how to play them, sorry.

I’m glad that someone got some enjoyment out of this game. I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy the game when I first played it in the early-mid 90s, or again when I played it a few years back. I think part of the issue was it was not what I was expecting from an RPG, which up until that point had consisted of titles such as Shining Force, Phantasy Star, and Miracle Warriors. Perhaps had I played it on a computer I would have looked more favourably at it – although now the game and the feeling of disappointment and frustration from my childhood are likely forever linked.

This game was way ahead of it’s time and is still a classic. I’ve always loved RPG’s and found it a great challenge and truly rewarding if you were smart and played it the right way.

I’d personally much rather play it than the New Elden Ring / Souls experience of dying 200 times and finally geting it right, with zero enjoyment.

Or the new age “rouge lites” that have crap graphics but are nowhere near as immersive or enjoyable as the classic games they are based on as well as being totally unoriginal.
