It’s likely that a game featuring hack and slash fantasy full of bloody swordplay, hordes of foes to combat, large sweeping environments, and a solid storyline will appeal to a broad audience. Garshasp: The Monster Slayer is actually based on an ancient Persian legend, and draws from a unique historical mythos to craft its story. However, while Garshasp: The Monster Slayer reaches for lofty goals, it falls just short of laying claim to greatness.

The Maul Squad write: "As someone who has an active interest in games, writes about them and enjoys indie products I’m supposed to look at a game made on free license software by some chumps in Iran and feel warm and fuzzy. I don’t. Garshasp only makes me feel angry."

Garshasp is a fearsome warrior who must find a mace hidden in a temple filled with monsters and traps. This game takes place before the original Garshasp: The Monster Slayer.
