Game Review

Ishar 3: The Seven Gates of Infinity is the last installment in the Ishar RPG series, and it was developed and published by Silmarils in 1994 for Amiga, Atari ST, and DOS.

Like the others in the series, Seven Gates plays like a first-person RPG. The plot follows the events of Ishar 2. You play as Zubaran, and after bringing peace to your land, you have to set out on yet another quest. This time the goal is simple: slay a dragon.

At the beginning of the game, you can either begin fresh and recruit new allies or import your favorite characters from another of the series. Once Zubaran is prepared, he and his companions have to travel through temporal gates to locate the dragon before an evil sorcerer can.

Each environment in the game is vastly different from the last, and as far as I’m concerned, the graphics are still beautiful, using the 256 colors of the Amiga AGA chipset. Like its predecessors, combat takes place in real-time, but now you can benefit from different attack moves. Another difference is that Ishar 3 starts in a large city, while the other games were set mainly in the wilderness.

The game still utilizes the simple interface of the previous two games, Ishar: Legend of the Fortress and Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom, keeping the series within reach for any gamer.
