This game ought to belong to the RPG category, though there are some huge flaws that will keep it in your trash bin. The graphics are pathetic considering we are in 2001 and the isometric view doesn't even let you play the game easily. There are some wide option in user creation, and some good ideas, though no one will touch this after looking at a screenshot.
