Alis seeks revenge for her brother against the tyrant Lassic across three planets. It's a sci-fi RPG with a female hero and smooth 3D dungeons, way ahead of its time.
Kit's verdict · 8.3/10
A gorgeous, ambitious RPG with a great setting, but the maze-like 3D dungeons will test you.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved

Not so much

Play it if RPG fans who want a classic with real ambition.
Skip it if anyone who hates mapping dungeons.
