It is cool how the light levels change as you explore the caves and see your fireball slice through the darkness. Sure, the graphics may not be as good as in Quake or Myst, but no graphics card is needed and for this shareware game. Ferazel must brave many levels and kill many enemies before he reaches his goal. Though the game may start out easy, it offers many a twist to throw Ferazel off his path and many monsters to cut short his quest. The land of Terrakorn has six worlds you much complete before you can venture into the great western desert.
Some levels are just dead ends that contain some important spell or item.
This side scroller is vertical as well as horizontal, which means that in many places you can go up and down as well as left and right. Ferazel has the unique ability to climb up any horizontal surfaces, so unlike in games filled with bottomless pits, it is not uncommon to climb down a pit or scale a sheer cliff to discover a whole new area. There are many areas where you must scale cliffs while fighting airborne monsters and other hazards. Besides scaling cliffs, Ferazel is also an avid swimmer, and there are many pools and lakes he can dive into. How long you can hold your breath is based on your health meter, and when you run out of breath, you start taking damage.
