Sorcerian

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

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)
