Personal review

The most interesting fact about this "run around in a castle with maze-like rooms, kill monsters and find the appropriate items and keys to open doors-game" is that you control an evil sorcerer who wants to take revenge on some "good" people. The graphics are pretty, but the game itself can't be called ground-breaking and becomes boring soon.
