Two game styles meet head-on in this role-playing game with arcade sequences. Plenty of deep thought is required as you travel around the landscape attempting to solve the adventure, but you're also called upon to use your reflexes in horizontally scrollinq beat em up sequences.

A nice idea in principle, Lord Of The Sword doesn't quite make it due to the rather bland action, and the fact that the role-playing bits are quite weak - there's simply not enough of each game style to satisfy fans of either genre.
