Our Review: Yay! Loving this game! For those of you that get sick of the 6 CD extravaganza that is Baldurs Gate or the 1.4GB of Diablo 2 and want to return to their roleplaying past then give RuneSword a go! It's fantastic! Think back to the old days of Ultima and put it in an Isometric perspective and this is what you get! Also add in a tad of Heroes of Might and Magic. Basically you walk around and do all of the usual RPG things, but this is designed to be friendlier than most. It also comes with a top notch adventure generator so you can have your own games with friends. Very Good!
