Is it still worth playing?
The hero Kelesis enters the Valley of Doom to rescue Princess Rena, who went there to find a rare herb needed to heal her father the King. It is a top down action role playing game released for the Master System in 1988, based on an MSX game. He fights monsters with a sword. Secret chambers sometimes open where characters offer advice, better weapons and other items. The map is divided into eight distinct environments, each ruled by a boss that has to be beaten before moving on, and there are caverns that switch between sideways and top-down scrolling. The final level opens only once every boss has fallen, and it hides a lair that clues point the way to. With eight environments ruled by bosses and secret chambers to find, it still rewards a curious player.
