About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like colorful, old-fashioned fantasy quests in the spirit of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad or The Dark Crystal; Not for you if dated effects or kid-scary creatures quickly take you out of it.
Pros: colorful fantasy adventure; lots of monsters and magic; engaging old-school charm | Cons: uneven effects; derivative story; may be too scary
