It doesn't have the depth of Beyond Oasis, but it's fun and challenge lie more in solving the puzzles and exploring the mazes than in completing the quests.
In the end, Light Crusader gets a passing grade because of some cool bosses and interesting puzzle challenges. In fact, maneuvering in the 3D environment can get mighty annoying, especially when you're trying to precisely jump or slash something in the air. You're a tall, gangly sprite with nowhere near the range or fluidity of movement of Ali in Beyond Oasis. Your range of moves include a sword slash, jumping thrust, and the ability to flip switches. To open the door in the room just after the Red Dragon, you must leap and cut down the swinging hostage.To get out of your first grave predicament in the cemetery, just push on the third tombstone from the left in the second row from the back.Push the block off onto the tan square, and the door opens. When you reach this interesting puzzle with the lever, push the block onto the lever, then rotate the lever to the other platform.An old standard works in this game - stock up on items by fighting all the enemies in a room, exiting, and returning to fight them again until you have all the items you want.Relics, keys, and more items found along the way enable you to solve the quests, and ultimately, the game. Standard RPG elements include quests to complete, monsters to fight, and a variety of items to collect and use, such as the four elemental (earth, wind, fire, water), which combine to make 15 spells. What follows is lots of talking to people, searching through mazes for special items, and fighting with various undead and otherwise wickedly enchanted creatures.Ī blend of action and RPG, Crusader's perspective is from a 3/4-overhead view, a la Beyond Oasis. You visit the nearby kingdom, discover strange goings-on, and set out to rid the land of a scourge. In Crusader's fairly standard story line, you play David Lander, swordsman extraordinaire. As an RPG, it's less challenging, less complex, less absorbing, and yet still strangely satisfying in some very basic ways. Light Crusader, which combines RPG and action/adventure gameplay, is just what the name implies: lite.
