[edit] Gameplay

Legend of Faerghail is set in a medieval fantasy world. The player first creates a character by selecting race and class. Characters have attributes (such as wisdom, strength and constitution), skills (such as pick-pocketing and various languages) and hit points.

The game is viewed from first-person perspective. The game world includes an overworld split by a mountain range, and eight dungeons.

It also offered the player the opportunity to continue their characters from previous games such as Phantasie I, III, The Bard's Tale and The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight, although Faerghail does not take place in the same fictional world as these games.

[edit] Critical reception

Legend of Faerghail was critically well received. Zzap! awarded an overall of 90%, highlighting game mechanics such as the language system, different ways of tackling locked doors, and wearing effects on weapons and armour. The game's presentation was also praised, with its atmospheric sound effects.[1]
