Wow, after rolling such a shitty NES game, I'm surprised this one is actually pretty fun. I walked into the first dungeon and got my ass kicked and was confused, so I walked back into town and bought some equipment, and wow, that made it a lot easier. The bosses can kick your ass if you aren't careful, though. The rings, at first, annoyed me because their energy drains quickly, but damn if they aren't handy during those boss fights. The game requires you to think ahead a little so you aren't running around one-shotting all the enemies with over-powered rings. The plot is pretty standard: you're a dude with a sword and shield going around killing things and rescuing people because you feel like it. Also, you have to collect statues so this guy Chester can't have them or something. Overall, I like the game so far.

However, I discovered something that maybe I shouldn't have. There's an easy way to level up by standing still where these infinitely spawning birds swoop down and swinging your sword like a mad man. Gold and exp add up like crazy doing this.
