Last updated on September 30th, 2024 at 06:31 am

A new video game for ZX Spectrum and MSX, sort of Rastan remake for 8bit machines with a proper launch site and novel graphic.

########Graphics and Sound
The graphics in “The Sword of Ianna” are impressive for an Amstrad CPC game, with detailed character sprites and backgrounds. The sound effects are also well-done, with satisfying sword clashes and other combat sounds.

###############Gameplay
The gameplay in “The Sword of Ianna” is simple but enjoyable. You play as a warrior on a quest to retrieve the titular sword, battling through hordes of enemies along the way. The combat is satisfying, with a good variety of enemies to fight and different weapons to use. The game also features a hidden level called “Nostalgium” that can be accessed by finding a secret item.

##############Curiosities
– “The Sword of Ianna” was released in 2020 by Retroworks, a Spanish developer that specializes in creating new games for classic systems like the Amstrad CPC and MSX2.
– The game was inspired by classic hack-and-slash games like “Golden Axe” and “Rastan”.
– The game’s title is a reference to the Greek goddess Ianna, who was associated with war and wisdom.

The Sword of Ianna is a fun and well-made game that is worth checking out for fans of hack-and-slash adventures.
