This, right here, is Deathbringer.

And I knew it was a DOS port of an Amiga game from the get go. The giveaway was that, while it looks beautiful, the controls are so convoluted, swinging a sword is like performing brain surgery.

Just to attack, you have to come to a full stop, press the spacebar, and then the direction of where you want to attack.

Let that sink in. You can’t move and attack. You can’t just stand and attack. You must stand still, press the button for attacking-which will only attack if you point where you want to attack right afterwards.
