I felt the same way. I played for 10 hrs and promptly erased the game.
I was hoping that if I got to a high level the game would start to get
interesting. The only thing I would like to add is that the graphics
did not impress me at all. I liked the graphics in dungeon master on my
old atari st much better. What I am saying here that I have seen
better graphics 6 years ago.
Anyway if you like unending hack and slash, this game is probably for
you.
