Fantasy
Fantasy
Ehrgeiz's most enduring appeal lies in its audacious genre-blending. The core fighting game, with its cast of Final Fantasy VII characters, is solid, but the real draw is the single-player dungeon crawler. This mode, a fully-fledged RPG with hack-and-slash combat, offered a unique experience that was a bold experiment for the era. The blend of familiar fighting game mechanics with dungeon exploration created a memorable and surprisingly deep experience, making it a cult favorite.
