I finally gave Swords and Serpents on the NES a try to see if it was a game I'd want to come back to in the future.

Things...didn't go as planned.

After creating my party and venturing into the dungeon, my entire team was wiped out in about 7–8 minutes. Rather than starting over, I decided to end the experiment there and share my honest first impressions of this classic first-person RPG.

Was I just unprepared? Is this game worth another chance? Let me know what you think in the comments!
