Woah, I remember playing this! Don't recall if it was any good though.

This was probably one of the best action RPG available on the Amiga, probably over the Eye of the Beholder or the Ishar series, and I might catch some flak, but definitely better than Might and Magic III or Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.

That said, Blue Byte (Battle Isle, The Settlers) made a spiritual successor to the Amber series, and IMO the best of them all, and probably one of the greatest RPG of that era: Albion.

Sadly, it had to go face-to-face with The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, and that stole a lot of its thunder. In my opinion, the curated world in Albion is more enjoyable than the generated levels in Daggerfall.

In any case, both Ambermoon and Albion are worth playing, the latter available at GOG for $1.49. https://www.gog.com/en/game/albion
