DESCRIPTION

Al Qadim: The Genie's Curse is an action/RPG hybrid based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Arabian-styled world of the same name. As a young corsair, whose family has recently been accused of improper use of their power to control genies, players must escape the wrath of the Caliph and prove their innocence. Sailing from place to place, the young hero must battle monsters, collect wealth and magical items, and seek out the truth behind these accusations before he is put to death. Statistics take a backseat to the action, as players take full control of their characters to explore the game world and engage in battle. A long journey full of challenging puzzles awaits players as they embark upon this console-style role-playing adventure. ~ Scott Steinberg, All Game Guide
