This one is a very nice Role-Playing-Game about a young pig farmer who wants to become a hero. Grahics, music and sounds are quite good for a freeware title. Gameplay is excellant (espacially when you use a gamepad).
The whole story runs very linear and there are also not to many different monsters, weapons and magic spells, which makes the title for a good one for genre beginners. But it´s still very entertaining when you are an experiencend role-player.

Reminds me of Diablo (which I dislike much) and Entomorph. I played it a bit in the past, agree on the linear story and general emptiness. It's definitely rpg for beginners. Only thing I loved was music which I really enjoyed.

I never liked this game, it was very buggy, not to mention boring. Plus, I paid money for it back when it was released, and it wasn't worth 2 cents. Ok, maybe 2...

So it seems my chance to get this game on the page are not very good ;).

I´m through with the game now and I have to confess that it has a poor ending :(. But as far as I can see, there weren´t any bugs and it was entertaining enough that I will go on with Part II.

I am downloading at this very minute. I must just correct however. The download is 23 MB and a 0,5MB patch and not 15 MB.

Following the links you seem to be right. But I checked my download file again and its size is exactly 15.3 mb. Included was the original game and one D-Mod (Mystery Island).

I think the game is great. I spent all my gaming time on it one day, and I was home alone....So that is a lot of gametime!
I would have thoought more of it if it had gotten a better bow-handling (I used to love bows in rpgs until this) and the graphics had been better. I hate the fact that you can work UNDER logs lying on the ground, and you cannot go in between trees, even though there is a small clearing...
Also there are way too few dungeons.
But I was impressed and entertained....
