“I love the voice acting in this game; I wish he did that in the Cavern of Time. This game had more story to it than Cavern of Time!”
“The ending of this game is a good plot twist, and I love how it ended.”
“I can not wait to see his next installment for this story in the next game, which I hope is Catacombs 2 soon.”
“The story is what you would expect from a cheap title, so no complaints there.”
“It's as if a ten-year-old had written a story named 'War of the Stars' or 'Master of the Ring' and were incredibly proud of it.”
“The setup with the locked dungeon, the side quests (collecting vegetables for a random guy in a locked dungeon... yeah, sure), nothing makes any sense whatsoever.”
