This game for the weekend will keep you busy for a long time. AhrimanÂ’s Prophecy is a 2D roleplaying game that reminds me a lot of the old Zelda 2D games. The looks of the game are nice and the developers did their best to create a believable world. You start as a young lady named Talia in the small village of Elden who is supposed to become a herbalist but finds out a little bit later that actually magic is her destination.
The game starts with the introduction of the main character Talia in the village of Elden. Her aspiration is to become a village herbalist but it soon turns out that her real passion and strength is magic. Talia discovers that a prophecy links her to the demon Ahriman and that she is the only person that is able to stop the demon from destroying the world.
Combat takes place in real time just like in the old Zelda games for instance. Once you see an enemy on the map you may walk to him and attack him in real time. The other party members will do the same automatically which means you only have to command one character.
The party consists of up to four characters who all have their distinctive strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has a job (class) like magic user, healer and fighter and you should take care that the characters live up to their jobs. It is not a good idea to let the priest fight for instance.
A players guide has been created which explains all the game mechanics like combat, quests and leveling in detail.
The only thing that disturbed me was the font that is used to tell the story. It looks a little bit blurry and hard to read. Not sure if this is related to my computer or a general problem.
