Reception[]

The game received mixed reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2][3] Next Generation said of the PlayStation version, "There are some neat things in the game such as the batwinged familiar that follows the mage around and the spellcasting interface, but in the end this game is a drag."[13]

Notes[]
