It (along with its counterpart, Savage Empire) is a fun game, but it is a product of its era. Not much handholding. Be prepared to spend months trying to complete it, if you’re not using a walkthrough. The Victorian-style overland music theme will haunt you in your dreams for years to come.
Make sure to play it with a Roland MT32 emulator, sounds much better that way.
