Description

Deadly Rooms of Death is a puzzler. The idea is simple: you control a man with a sword that can point in 8 directions. On any turn you can either move the man or rotate the sword. You have as long as you want to plan each action, but it had better be good... your enemies move when you do! This puzzler has many kinds of enemies, and you will need to understand each one's personality intimately to even dream of making it to the final battle with the 'Neather.

Deadly Rooms of Death features countless brilliantly designed, extremely challenging puzzles. As a bonus, there's the visceral pleasure of slashing through whole armies of evil creatures singlehandedly.

A challenging but highly addictive game.

The Good
The game is extraordinarily addictive and it's unique. When I first started playing I found it a little hard to work out what was going on, but by the time I had reached level 3 I was hooked. The game is simple to understand but it requires a great deal of planning and strategy to get anywhere; it's no use just running madly around slashing at enemies. And then you get the satisfaction of watching giant roaches and eyeballs disappearing in a shower of blood. And when you complete a level, you really feel you've achieved something. If you complete the game without help then you are among a very elite group of people.

The Bad
Its impossible! Actually it isn't but it often seems that way. The most annoying thing is the fact that a game can only be saved at the beginning of each room. There is nothing more frustrating than pressing the wrong key and having to start all over again, especially in some of the later rooms. The scream sound you hear when you die gets annoying too.

The Bottom Line
A great game, well worth getting. Just don't expect to finish it within a few days or even weeks.
