Heimdall - Core Design RRP œ34.99
        (Adventure/arcade game for Amiga, PC and ST)

           Reviewed on the Amiga by Andy Stenhouse

The evil Loki has stolen the weapons of the Gods and you must get
them back, that is the premise of the game.

Heimdall is an interesting mixture of adventure and arcade game
but don't worry, the arcade element is not too hard to get used to
- it just requires a little careful timing and is mainly for
fights but there are three arcade games at the start that you can
skip if you wish. If you do try them you will gain better skills
in the main game.

The first of the arcade games is the axe throwing.  Here you must
throw axes at the maid's hair and cut the strands, this is not
easy because you have had a little too much to drink. The next
game is the pig chase, here you have to catch the greased pig and
you are still drunk.  The last of the three arcade games is on the
boat, you must reach the far left side of the boat and collect the
pouch then return to the far right with it while the other Vikings
try to stop you.

The main game starts after you choose five members of the party to
accompany Heimdall on his quest. Only three people can leave the
ship at a time. The main part of the game takes part on many
islands and is in a 3D perspective. Heimdall is good fun and will
keep you interested for a long time, the puzzles are good and the
difficulty level is just right. This is a game that I would
recommend to anyone who likes RPGs.
