Quandary Review by Rosemary Young

"Shadows over Riva is a game that can be played by both novices and experienced adventurers. It has two levels of gameplay with layers in between, so there is something for everyone."

"There are lots of delightful 'touches' in this series to keep roleplaying fans well and truly busy. There are heaps of magic spells to experiment with, a myriad of distasteful diseases and lots of herbs to learn about. Some herbs are ingested to improve particular skills, whilst others are useful in the practice of alchemy. This latter study means keeping a recipe book and learning how to concoct various potions."

"Shadows over Riva is a thoroughly absorbing game even with its basic graphics, they didn't perturb me in the least. However, don't even think about it if graphics are your 'thing' or if you are a real-time hack and slash fanatic. But if you want to experience an interesting journey through an interesting story then it's well worth playing. Riva is a fun place to be..."
