Epic length RPG, but loaded with bugs. I triggered a bug where I can skip some of the floors, I think it was right at the end of floor 1. There are also problems with the custom scripted battle system. Got as far the volcano floor, went into the first battle in the area with a medusa who threw out a party confusion spell. Confused party member disappeared from the screen and froze the game.

Difficulty was generally easy, but some areas are large elaborate mazes (e.g. sea caverns) where you spend hours looking for the correct exit. Encounter rates are pretty high, and a beginner party will be grinded down by the sheer number of encounters. Thru the mid game however, characters were overstatted and the mage had a bunch of cheap status spells, some of which also work on bosses. Bosses were generally very easy based on how far i got.

Plot was minimal. Everyone speaks in what I imagine to be a monotone voice and sentences were as simple as can be. I can see why this would be subjected to a remake.
