Synopsis In the age when the castle was supreme it took dedicated warriors to overcome their defences, to look and pillage, and finally to destroy. You are armed with a mighty sword cast from the remains of a thunderbolt which fell from the sky many millennia ago. Also in your possession is a magic potion which makes you invincible to all for short periods of time. Armed with these you must penetrate the inner recesses of 4 castles and do battle with all you find in them. As you progress you will discover many intriguing objects which can behave very strangely. Many are documented such as wooden panels, hour glasses, thorns, portcullis, mirrors etc.. But most are not. When you think you're stuck, experiment and you'll discover properties you never knew existed. The subtle blend of arcade timing and adventurous puzzles make Man-At-Arms fiendishly addictive. You must plunder each of the 4 castles which become increasingly "puzzling" as you progress. Your overall objective is to kill all foes with your mighty sword and to plunder as much of the most valuable treasure as you can carry. Man-At-Arms is a fascinating challenge with superb sound effects and music. No attention to detail has been spared and you can be sure of many late nights for weeks to come. |
