Summary
Hand to hand combat with a dragon? Uh...it's your funeral
The Good
Another surprise approach, in bringing a side-scroll action game for the heroes of krynn. Unlike other similiar games, in this game you can change your characters anytime you want. It's basically a seven in one character game.
For instance if there's a barrier between you and your enemy, where you can't reach him in melee combat. Switch to your other characters that have ranged attacks, like Riverwind the Ranger or his brother Raistlin the Magi, after wasting the poor chap, change again to other character, etc.
Well, it's a kinda well balanced game since different characters have different traits, so there is some level of strategy in defeating the enemy.
Oh, did I mention there are baby dragons? They fight like hell, imagine fighting their parents...
The Bad
What you can't save the game? What do you mean you can't save the game?
This was probably the main reason I stopped playing this game (that and the building sized dragon you just can't seem to defeat...sigh).
There is no save menu in this game, like most games in that period of time, so when you meet mister nice dragon and turn to ash, you have start all over again...
And that was probably only level one....sigh.
The Bottom Line
Dragons...dragons...everywhere dragons...yikes.
