Dungeon Magic falls into the same trap a lot of old RPGs do... to put you in the action, it gives you a first-person perspective. Cool, right? WRONG! The problem with this (and Might and Magic, for that matter) is that EVERY WALL LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME. This means, basically, you can get totally, hopelessly lost in the first town. I know I did... I may just be stupid, but I know this never happened to me in a game with, you know, multiple textures. So, you think, I'll just use a map and be fine, right? Uh uh... the battle system is unusable. Unless you happen to be God or, better yet, Howard Phillips, stay far, far away...
