This is a first-person real-time dungeon crawler based in an underground world. The world has multiple levels, the deeper you go the more dangerous it becomes. Magic is done by a Rune system that has the player tracing out actual rune shapes in the air with their mouse to complete spells. It's an interesting and different system, but has some issues as sometimes the shapes have to be drawn multiple times to activate correctly.
Overall, the game has a lot of promise but falls a little flat for me. The fighting gets repetitive and there isn't much of a sense of accomplishment or forward progress. The graphics are fine in regards to their level (this is an old game, after all), I just wasn't drawn into the style. Mostly because this game takes place underground all the levels consist of caves or buildings, which are small and cramped and do not lend to a lot of variety.
Averagely good game, not amazing, but worth giving a try if you're into dungeon crawl RPGs.
