Name: Sorcerian
Author/Vendor: Falcom/Hudson/American Sammy
Released: 1987
Type: RPG
Language: English and Japanese
Premise: A combination role-playing/action game in which you control a party of four characters (made up of fighters, mages, and the like) through numerous, generally unrelated quests - pretty much just for the sake of doing the quests, as each was given its own story with nothing relating to the others. (Matthew Murray)
Impressions: Similar in concept to Cadash and in execution to Ys 3. Bland graphics and a laughable English translation don't help things too much, not to mention that some of the puzzles are just plain stupid. Way too easy to get lost in the dungeons, which makes for a confusing and frustrating experience. I'd have to say "thumbs down" on this one.
Variations: Sorcerian Forever (IBM PC version)
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
