Swords and Serpents

rating-9-of-10

I mostly got this game cause I like RPG’s and I loved the cover art. Sadly, that art was nowhere to be seen in the actual game (which is fair for an 8 bit game). Luckily the dungeon crawler RPG aspect made up for it. I may be pushing it a bit giving it a 9/10 but it dungeon crawls well. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is there is no real… direction for what you are supposed to be doing. If not for online guides, I’d get nowhere. Also it gives you the option to make a party out of any 3 classes (Wizard, Warrior, Thief) but if you don’t pick at least one Wizard you can’t advance the game because some of the “out of combat” spells are required later in the game.
