Personal review

Romancia is the third game in the "Dragon Slayer" series and ported from Japanese homecomputers. It is a rather typical Action-Adventure type of its era, where the biggest difficulty lies in finding out what to do and handle some nasty game design decisions. The game is not overly long or complex, but difficult nonetheless. Limited inventory space and it is easily to get stuck because you used an item unwisely. With a good walkthrough it was playable... until the last boss, which took just too many hits until killed.
