About this game

Everyone's lived the old RPG standard of gathering crystals and fighting mysterious monsters, but have you ever done it... as a fish? Bob Surlaw and a whole host of mutants embark on a quest to save the world. Features 9+ hours of gameplay.

First released on DOS in 2000 and made with the OHRRPGCE engine, Walthros is back for a whole new generation of players! Featuring its original 8bit-styled graphics and storyline, Walthros has been enhanced with higher quality music and touched up dialogue.

Walthros is an alien planet inhabited by lifeforms that resemble animals from Earth. At some distant point in the planet's history, there was a great conflict that ended when a legendary hero unleashed a power that destroyed most of the known world. Thousands of years later, life has largely recovered. Unfortunately, old conflicts have been reborn, and war continues to rage. Players take the role of Bob Surlaw, a Walthrosian Fish who makes a living as an explorer of ancient ruins. His journey begins when he leaves his home one morning to explore a nearby shrine that has long been sealed. Inside, he finds an angry spirit and a piece of an ancient relic.

Very unique RPG with a funny storyline and iconic characters. Not very difficult, but the storyline will keep you enthralled 'till the credits. Definitely one of the best RPGs I have played, as well as one of the best mobile games. It's a shame this hasn't been ported to consoles. however it is available on Windows.

A fun and enjoyable RPG. It isnt very difficult, however the story and setting are entertaining enough to keep you engaged 'til the end. EDIT: There's a remake of this game out on PC right now, called "Walthros Renewal."

I have loved this game ever since I first played it on my TV. It has truly stood the test of time. I actually just beat it earlier today, which is funny because I thought that the part where you first get to sorthlaW was the ending for a long time.
