"It's time you did something about those Monsters under your bed!"
That cheesy, but somewhat cool line is from the back of Slayer's Box.
Released sometime in 1994 for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, Slayer is a D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) RPG, and my favorite 3DO Game. Having already completed the Easy and Normal modes of the game, I found it very fun and well worth my time. Aside from the lame Ending, here's why you should play this game:
Gameplay: 8/10
This is an Action-RPG that is VERY similar to a DOS Game called Arena. The goal is to traverse Maze-Like Dungeons and get to the exit in each one. The Dungeons are all part of a bigger Dungeon, and each floor is randomly generated, making for a new experience each time. While traversing these floor, you have to fight Monsters and find Treasure. On most floors, you need to find a key to proceed to the next floor, but you may find keys for other doors as well. Unfortunately, when you swing your weapon, you can't see it, so you have to get in the Monster's face to actually tell if your hurting them or not, which can sometimes lead to a quick Game Over. This is a HARD game, even on easy mode.
Graphics: 7/10
The graphics are of a very early 3D kind. Rather than try and describe them, take a look at these screenshots:
Music: 10/10
I absolutely LOVE the Music in this game. It's very eerie sounding. Here's a piece from the game, and my personal favorite from it:
Overall: 9/10
This is a great game, and probably the best game for the ill-fated 3DO. I love almost everything about it, and I recommend that everyone who loves RPGs find some way to try this game.
Fun Fact:
-Gary Gygax is the creator of the Table-Top RPG Game that this Video Game is based off of.
