Charbile's and Rinku's AND& game, probably a satyre of the genre.
I'll leave it to your discretion to judge this game's true aim, but as far as I am concerned, sentences such as "you need sword II to pass through here - why? - I can't tell you" are just a big joke of common rpg's quest progression system.

| Graphics |
| |
|
Characters from this game are well drawn and animated, resembling some of the SNES game's. The tilesets are good though not remarkable. The battle hero is well made, the foes probably too simplistic (and abusing palette alterations).

| Storyline |
| |
|
Hard to define. There is "no" story per say aside from the fact you are a girl who's memory is lost. You must, apparently, kill some monster to regain new memories. There is little to be known.

| Gameplay |
| |
|
Poor. Cliche at best. You cannot cross the woods if you don't have SwordII, or pass the guards without swordIV for example. To add up, there are few dialogues, most of which are just lame jokes, and levels are linear. You might stumble upon constant puzzles which are pushable npcs (now I'm sure you too have grown bored of these) and they are not even original. It is like a bunch of ideas thrown together without a real consistency link between them.

Battle |
| |
|
Tough, if not unpleasantly tough. Monsters get increasingly tough and leveling up is the only way out (hours of it apparently).

Map Design |
| |
|
Poor, composed of a big filling of the local soil with blocks and/or pushable trees or rocks blocking your paths. There is really nothing fun in completing two full levels (large maps) of just that.

Balance |
| |
|
At first, the game seems tough, but soon enough, it turns into "impossible" because there is no way for you to expect surviving your enemies anymore. (And no turning back). Some random boss coming for you will actually feel weak in comparison to the HORDES of monsters rushing against you. This doesn't give a sense of "tough battle" but of "there is no way I can beat that game".

Pretty interesting tunes. I'm not sure it wasn't ripped, but nice music nonetheless. Fits the themes, nothing much to add on this point really: It's ok.

| Enjoyment |
| |
|
Poor. The game is "relatively beatable" but doesn't give you a reason to. There is no big mystery to uncover, no pride in defeating hordes of monsters, no prized possessions to acquire. It is a very poor and empty game on this aspect.

Decent graphics with poor story and gameplay, this game really breaks no boundary in the OHR world, but then again, if you can overcome the frustration of the gameplay, it may help you kill some time...
