The soundtrack comprises some of the most vivid medieval-themed music yet committed to the videogame medium, conjuring a distinctly Old World atmosphere. Each landscape is rife with textural and architectural detail that makes it seem like an actual site rather than a repetitive virtual board. These maps are overrun by baddies (in dungeons and remote locations...
