Sword of Sodan was a notable game on the technical side, with large and distinctive-looking sprites. Your task is to dethrone the tyrannous Zoras the Necromancer, and avenge his killing of your father.
The gameplay involves 11 levels, both indoor and outdoor settings, where you must use your character's sword-slashing and jumping moves to make progress. The game features digitised sound and speech, as well as an action-replay feature, an unusual concept outside sports games at the time.
