![]() ![]() Time plays out in game 'days', which only pass when you're exploring dungeons, so you have a choice of either exploring with a smaller, and therefore weaker, party or drafting in a substitute or two instead. Although it doesn't tell you at the time, the age you pick when creating a character plays directly into the revivals system, as defeated characters need to be hospitalised to recover, and younger characters take less time to bounce back than older ones. ![]() ![]() When your health and magic start to run low, it's better to backtrack to the entrance and return to town too, where you can recover and stock up on supplies - which means your progress through the dungeons can be painfully slow at times.Īrguably the trickiest part of the Stranger of Sword City learning curve comes when you fall in battle - characters can be revived, but it's not without a cost. Likewise, you'll want to play it safe with your magical attacks as you don't have vast amounts of magic points to fuel them, and restorative items are both costly and rare. How you have your party set up is important, as you'll want to keep your stronger folks on the "front row" where they can act as damage sponges, protecting your weaker wizards, clerics and rangers in the rear. With you and your opponents taking it in turns to attack, defend and sling spells, you should have plenty of time to decide the best strategy - strategy which can generally be the difference between life and death in many of the game's more unforgiving face-offs. And there are a lot of battles.Īs you wander your way through the twisting and turning corridors of the Labyrinths, you'll get ambushed by unseen enemies from time to time, triggering battles. With your party in tow, it's up to you to venture into the game's labyrinthine dungeons, as you take on the local enemies in turn based battles, and gain experience to grow your party in strength. In order to survive the dangerous Labyrinths, you'll need to create your own party of adventurers first, creating characters with a mixture of different skills, classes and abilities. ![]()
