An Amiga original arcade styled beat 'em up, Sword of Sodan was noteworthy for its large character sprites, filling up more than half the screen size vertically. It was a game I had as a kid but never got all that far into. In my review, I'll be reading from the manual as well as from several magazine reviews of the time period, and you'll be seeing me conquer it for the first time.
