Shadowpeak

In this game you play the role as Loralang, a famed knight, which has to travel back in time and retrieve the golden sceptre and kill the undead lord, Morac.

(EDIT: It could be interesting with a quick fix to disable the random deaths to see if there are some great puzzles or a nice story line further inside the game.)

So much for the story. The game is oldschool and is a combination of puzzles, a bit of random combat and unfortunately also random deaths. I haven't completed the game, but from what I have seen so far, there are some decent puzzles. The random combat I have seen so far was too easy but not a problem either.

Even though I like oldschool games, random combat and don't care too much about the Player's Bill of Rights, I feel this game could have been a lot better if it weren't for the very common random deaths caused by the dragon. It seems(?) impossible to avoid it for long and according to the built-in hints, the only thing you can do is to avoid the dragon. So even though I came across some decent puzzles, I find the random deaths too frustrating to keep on trying. EDIT: A quick modification, i.e disable random deaths, to this game would probably improve this game a lot.
