Review
Well, it's definitely a Conan adventure! We start the adventure with the passing of King. Unfortunately, his death is due to an evil, mustache-twirling Wizard. Now it falls upon the ousted King's sister to seek revenge and free her kingdom. Here enters Conan rather conveniently, and through a series of errors and misjudgements, he kidnaps the ousted sister! Now thrown into the middle of a civil war, Conan must face off against the wizard and end the tyranny.
Overall a very standardized Conan adventure, which I so enjoyed. You just know what to expect from a Conan adventure, and it is nice to let yourself go and just fall into a tale of fantasy.
