Reviews
Adventurer: The Island Chronicles is an action-based role-playing game that has the elements of a good Pocket PC Game: it's fast-paced, simple, and can be played in long or short sessions. Your goal is to rid the Kalesian islands of the evil dragon Stynnaferras and her nine children. Along the way, you'll collect potions and treasure, and fight a variety of monsters as you become more powerful and defeat the dragon conqueror of each island. Combat is simple hit-and-run variety found in classic games like Archon and Telengard. Although the game doesn't involve a lot of strategy, its simple attack-and-move-on mentality makes it well-suited to the Pocket PC.
