This is an excellent RPG. While the characters could use a bit more back story, they are developed enough to be interesting and the dialogue is often quite amusing. The end opponent of the game also avoids being one-dimensional, which is refreshing. The game mechanics work quite well. There are multiple difficulty levels so the game can be enjoyed by all levels of players. The skill points can be re-distributed at any point in the game, allowing the player to change how their character is developed if so desired. The dungeons are quite fun, and the inclusion of switches and spikes and so forth adds interest without being made so difficult as to become too frustrating. The length is also very nice for a game of this price. Having played all the side quests and optional battles I got over 30 hours of play time and the variety of ways in which the characters can be developed give it good replay value. It was a solid game and I had a very good time playing it. I recommend it for players who enjoy classic RPG's/
