## Description
_Aspic_ is an Action Role Playing game utilizing a first person perspective
in dungeons. Battles occur in real time on a separate arena similar to Zelda
II’s map encounters. Players can recruit extra warriors and pick which warrior
will engage in combat. The game is a sequel to Xtalsoft’s Lizard and is
notorious for its dark ending which doesn’t end in the player’s favor.
Aspic begins from the ending of the first game. Having obtained the Book of
Truth which can break the curse on the princess, Samson returns to the king
only to find that the princess is missing. Three days prior to the events of
Aspic, a witch had appeared and informed the king that there was another way
to save the princess, so the king entrusted his daughter’s life to the witch.
Although the witch did undo the curse on the princess, it turned out that she
did so to have the princess marry the demon king Aspic. Samson, whom the king
had begged to save the princess, goes on another cruel adventure to save her.
Leveling up in the game will only have players gain attack power. Players can
raise their HP by donating money to the temple. Money can only be obtained
from treasure chests scattered inside dungeons and there are no weapons and
armor that can be bought or found. Recovery items are only useful for the
companions as the hero can only recover his strength at fountains, but the
hero can absorb MP from his enemies after defeating them. While enemies are
visible in dungeons and can be avoided, the game switches to random encounters
on the world map.
