Play The Return Of Medusa Online

The Return of Medusa is a role-playing game released for MS-DOS in 1991. Developed by X-ample Architectures and published by Starbyte Software, it is a fantasy dungeon crawler presented from a first-person perspective. The game continues the story of Prince Cirion, who pursues the antagonist Medusa into a futuristic setting after her defeat in the earlier title.

Players control Prince Cirion from a first-person view during dungeon exploration and from an overhead perspective on the world map. The primary objective is to locate thirteen keys hidden in dungeons across the land, ultimately enabling an assault on Medusa's city. Progression involves managing resources, building a military force, and acquiring wealth through activities like trade, treasure hunting on the world map, or visiting casinos. Success depends on assembling an army with various races, classes, and weaponry options, which operates in real-time during overworld travel.

The core gameplay alternates between strategic management in cities, where time is paused, and first-person dungeon exploration. In dungeons, players can be accompanied by up to three companions and engage in real-time combat, primarily using firearms, while solving environmental puzzles. The game also incorporates occasional arcade-style sequences. This structure combines strategic army and resource management with direct, action-oriented dungeon crawling.
