Gameplay

Reception

Chris Lombardi reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "It has a wonderful setting, a nice 'look and feel', and elements that truly capture the spirit of the historical period, but the prevalence and nature of the action sequences, along with the quirks in Al and design, keep it from being "all that it could be" and prevent one from offering a wholehearted recommendation." [3]
