How it feels
A deliberate, old-school turn-based fantasy RPG where you explore a vast subterranean world at your own pace, managing a party through monster-infested darkness.

What players say
Players praise the story and old-school dungeon crawling, but performance is a sore point, the game runs poorly on modern machines, with laggy menus, sluggish mouse movement, and trouble with multiple monitors. Long-time fans call it a solid entry, though some find it weaker on narrative and harder than later installments.
