Beam Software's stab at a Rastan clone has you playing your pick of three fighters (valkyrie, barbarian, wizard) as you side-scroll your way through hordes of enemies on a mystic quest for the usual bearded deity.

A fantasy-themed platformer that rises above the crowd due to its excellent graphics and sound. It's too bad that the gameplay is only passable at best. Think of it as a 2D Golden Axe, and you'll begin to get the picture.
