Ryser is an absolute piece of crap – in it for just himself. On top of that, the characters are pretty awful.

Again, an immense suspension of disbelief is necessary for this style of plot to work, but I feel like L’Phalcia requires even more than the norm. Though I’m sure they will appear at some point, perhaps the ultimate foe is themselves – the Seekers – deciding what is the best way to use the Sword of Amal? But then there’s just that – this sword can grant unlimited wishes? That is more overpowered than a freaking genie, unless each wielder is limited to a single wish before it must be wielded by another master. I appreciate the fact that the focal point of the narrative is, in the beginning, not centered around the ultimate bad guy. Only after finding all the Amal map fragments can Ryser and crew hope to find the sword, but what will become of it once it is acquired? Will the extremely douchey Ryser let his companions, many of which have way better wish intentions than his self-centered desires, hold on to the artifact, or will he keep it for himself? Can anyone even be trusted in this kind of situation?Īs you can see, Illusion of L’Phalcia is quite cheesy – but cheese isn’t always a bad thing. They aren’t the only ones on the hunt, of course – Ryser must work cooperatively with other seekers if he has any hope of finding this fabled artifact. Ryser, and his sidekick, Cougar, spend every waking moment seeking the artifact for themselves. Years later, treasure hunters known as “Seekers” spend their time searching for this long, lost artifact. Thus, the sage recovered the sword and hid it away from prying eyes. A long time ago, a sage made something really cool a wish dispensing sword! This Sword of Amal would exchange hands for many years, granting the wielder their hearts desire, before it would ultimately fall in the hands of crappy people, desiring crappy things.
