The first run through was fun, but then the weaknesses became all too clear: 1. it's all far too random, you can't even seriously prepare yourself, 2. the combat system is too complicated, 3. the gameplay is repetitive and 4. pixel graphics used to be cool, with the emphasis on “used to be”. The far better similar game is “Renowned Explorers”.

It's like the exploration part of Civilization, but for the entire game.
