Review:

This game is not exciting or addicting, nor did it have an RPG-like theme. Due to the lack of a storyline (at all), you do not assume the role of a character and the player only does one thing throughout the whole game; kill monsters by spelling words.

STORY/CHARACTERS:
There are none. This makes the game much less interesting. All the dungeons look the same, and the treasure you get at the end of each level seems to have no value. (1/10)

GAME PLAY/CONTROLS:
This game did not provide very much control. Control just consists of pressing on letter tiles to spell words, and clicking submit. On the bright side, it was quite simple. However, you cannot control what order you put the letters in; they are put in numerical order. If you make a mistake, you have to start over with putting the word together. Therefore... (5/10)

GRAPHICS:
The graphics are obviously outdated. You can tell right at the beginning of the game; locations on the world map are represented by crude, red dots. The shadows of the monsters are, visibly, dots. And the monsters themselves are mottled; plus, the only thing you can really see them do is move down (which represents attacking). Graphics get... (3/10)

AUDIO:
The soundtrack of the game (if you can call it that) is very limited. There is almost no melody and sound shockingly similar to that of some of my very old Zelda games. All monsters make the same bizarre sound when dying, and the sound itself does not sound like any creature. (4/10)

DIFFICULTY:
The game, even on normal mode, would be difficult for people with average intelligence. There are not enough tiles to get through dungeons past the third level. (6/10)

Conclusion:

To summarize, this game is boring; and the awful graphics, monotonous soundtrack, and lack of storyline doesn't help. Trust me, you will not be coming back for more.
