  • 8I've never played the original, but this was very fun. I think it'd be interesting to try to update the graphics more, though.
  • 10This is a remake of Fargoal. Fargoal is a Rogue like game, so expect rogue like gameplay - the dungeons are tough, get tougher and if you ever beat the dungeon you're one of a chosen few. Games like these are what evolved into modern RPGs. And if you play it, you can learn a lot on game design. The game is complex, yet simple. The update in graphics reanimated one of the all time classics - fargoal never looked so good, and it plays fantastic. Download it, play it and try your best to beat it <b>...</b>
  • 6Very good principe but takes a long time and makes you very angry if you die after 5 hours playing... The sounds are not really great but fit to the other things. The graphics are as they are in an arcade game. At all it`s good in fun and bad in ressource.
