The 2D mode takes place in the overworld and inside buildings, and is a top-down perspective similar to Ultima 7. Navigation is through the mouse which you can use to move around, and click on things to interact with them. There's also a 3D mode for the villages and dungeons.Combat is turned-based and planned on a 2D 6x6 square grid, and the actual animation occurs in 3D.

Another War was the first Polish RPG. It takes place during WW2 and in your travels you will visit France, Germany, Yugoslavia, USSR and Iceland. The game is combination of action-rpg and point-and-click adventure with lot of reading and fighting with Nazis. The game has lots of humor - you will find many allusions to classic books and movies, like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Allo, Allo", "Catch-22", "Saving Private Ryan", and "The Dirty Dozen" amongst others. Another War's interface is modeled on those of classic cRPG games, mainly on the Baldur's Gate and Fallout series. The game has 2D rendered graphics in an isometric view with pre-rendered characters.

Anvil was one of the last "non 3d" first person roleplaying games(i.e.-Eye of the Beholder). You started out by picking from one of five characters (two female, two male and one lizard!). You then proceed to training with a wizard who teaches you a basic spell in the discipline of your choice (earth,wind,fire,water,lightning..). You then were off on your quest to destroy an evil warlord.
Your adventure will take you through castles, dungeons and shipwrecks.

A zeppelin is cruising over mountains. Out of nowhere, two planes appear. Who could have guessed the journey will end in such a horrible manner? Death, fire and destruction fill the sky. The zeppelin crashes, smashing everything on the ground, and even the attackers - two orcs - die in flames... Are you the only survivor? But wait, here is a gnome lying on the ground, dying, deperately trying to tell you something. "The boy... find the boy!" He gives you a ring. The mystery is now in your hands. Who was the mysterious gnome? Who is the owner of the ring? In this moment, seeing the flames violently destroy everything around, you can't even suspect you'll soon be the one who will change the destiny of the entire Arcanum...This role-playing game is set in a unique world, where magic and technology co-exist, where dwarves carry guns, and where you take a train through a landscape full of ferocious monsters. Arcanum belongs to the end of 19th century - sciences prosper, and new industries develop quickly. But the old world of elves and dwarves won't give up, revealing the eternal conflict between nature and technology.The gameplay of "Arcanum" is closely related to that of Fallout. You can freely roam in the huge world, exploring it in a totally non-linear fashion, or simply following the main story. Like in Fallout, there are many skills you can upgrade, and unlimited possibilities for character customization. Depending on your charisma, you can recruit many characters to join you on your quest, and choose your own way and style of interacting with the world and its inhabitants.

Something is rotten in the quiet medieval town of Senora... A mysterious Dark Brotherhood seems to take control of the town, and it's your quest to discover the identity of the villains and to liberate the inhabitants."Arcatera" is a mixture of adventure and a real-time RPG. While its design and interface remind more of a classical point-&-click adventure, it has also many typical RPG features: usage of different weapons, spells, combat system etc. You can play 4 different characters. The gameplay is non-linear and the development of the story depends mostly at the character you choose. You have almost unlimited freedom and can speak to, or attack NPCs at your wish, bearing the consequences. Even if you do nothing, the in-game life continues on its own.

You take on the role of Michael Travinsky, who doesn't remember a lot of things after the car accident. But the mysterious Lord of Light has a mission for you to decide the fate of humanity.

During the game you fight your way through three fascinating worlds and meet many live and undead characters, who will help you or not to fight the dark powers to complete your transformation into the Archangel.

Armies of Exigo is another RPS (RTS-RPG hybrid) in the tradition of Warcraft III. The land of Men is threatened by a bestial force returning after having been soundly defeated. The elders fail to read the signs of impending doom, and only a young hero who is granted leadership of the council heeds the prophecy that foretold this conflict. This is more or less the story of the game. There are three different sides in Armies of Exigo, with the third joining the fray later in the campaign. The game offers quite a few interesting features, such as travelling in and exploring underground passages, the ability to form "supergroups" comprised of several traditional squads assigned to numbers Heroes are the most powerful units in the game, but all units advance with experience, even if they do so slowly. Also, being a traditional RTS with base building, Armies of Exigo utilizes three kinds of resources: gold, wood and gems.

After Bradwen has successfully completed his quest to become a Knight Of The Round Table in the first game, he must now fight against the dark forces in this sequel to "Tales Of Chivalry".

Arx was a once a prosperous place. However, after one night the sun of the world of Exosta never rose again, and the blistering cold forced their inhabitants into the dwarf mines. There, a new city was built, and humans, trolls and dwarfs lived along peacefully, until the scarce resources proved to be too few for everyone. The animosity started to build up, and conflict between races ensued.
The player starts the game dazed out, being dragged into a cell by a troll. Where is he? Why did he end up there? Who is he? With only that in mind, the adventure starts...The unofficial sequel to Ultima Underworld Series, Arx Fatalis is a first person RPG (which means combat, exploration and interaction are all seen by the eyes of the player) played on a gigantic underground world connected by tunnels and ladders. As most places lack light sources, players can take advantage of the darkness to stealthily move in the shadows, or be forced to use torches to lighten up a room to search for some object or find their way in a path. One of the unique aspects of the game is the spell-casting system, where the player uses the mouse (or the directional pad in the Xbox version), to draw the rune of a particular spell. The most complex spells can be performed by combining runes.

The Director's Cut Edition is the Windows release of Assassin's Creed.While the core gameplay remains the same as in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, the Director's Cut Edition features some additions and improvements besides the more detailed graphics (including DirectX 10 support). The most noticeable addition are the four new additional informant missions which increases the total to nine available missions for each assassination. The four new ones are:
Roof Chase - once Altaïr has met up with an informant, he sends him to a second one which he needs to reach before the time runs out.
Kill the Archers - Altaïr needs to take out all the archers on the roofs in a defined zone silently so that the other assassins can move on with their own missions.
Destroy the Market Stands - as the name suggest, Altaïr needs to destroy a predefined number of market stands but will encounter heavy resistance from the marketeers.
Escort - a fellow member of the brotherhood has stolen something very valuable and now the guards are chasing him. Altaïr needs to escort him safely out of the city.Other changes include an improved artificial intelligence and a comfort function which allows Altaïr to port himself directly from the home of the brotherhood (Masyaf) to a city of his choosing provided he already visited it before. In the console releases Altaïr always had to ride through the kingdom to return to a already visited city.

As always Jonesch went down to the river to get water. As he walked towards the stream he noticed a basket on the shore. In it he found a baby with a strange amulet around his neck. He chose to take care of this lost child and raise him. Soon he discovered that the child had a great gift for magic and when the child was old enough, he send it to the mage academy of Avencast in the hopes that he would be able to satisfy his desire to know more about magic there. And perhaps the sorcerers of the best of all academies in Uria would know what the amulet meant.The basics of the game are the same as in other Action-RPGs like Diablo II. You fulfill quests, kill enemies and level up. But the game mechanics differ from those games.The first notable difference is the way the game is controlled. Instead of using the old click-and-move mechanic, your hero is controlled more heavily with the keyboard much like a FPS. To make it easier to adjust to that, you have the choice between three different control schemes ranging from a simple, more old-school system to a version where the camera is behind your hero at all times and everything plays much like an action game like Shadowgrounds. Casting spells is a little more tricky and it does not change with your control scheme.Each spell has a specific key combination assigned to it. The hammer of rage for example is activated by pushing "W", "S" and then the left mouse-button. If that is too complicated also the combinations are always shown under the spell on your hotbar, you can also define one of the F-keys to them. But they can be pretty hard to reach during a fight.Another break with established standards is that the game focuses less on items. This is most evident in the fact that enemies rarely drop any loot. Your main source for better items and gold is completing quests, looting chests or simply buying them at the trader. The focus is instead more on the three different magic schools "Bloodmagic", "Soulmagic" and "Conjuration". Each school has its own skill tree and each new spell is unlocked by investing the talent points you gain at each level up.Depending on how good you fight (magic efficiency and how many times you have been hit), you also gain points of fame. These are not important for the game itself but once you have finished the campaign, your hero will enter the "Hall of Heroes". There you can compare his points of fame and his equipment to all the other heroes you have created.

Ever since you could remember yourself, your foster-father Gorion has been taking care of you, treating you like his own son, and teaching you everything you know. Even though your true origin is still shrouded in mystery, you feel that the little town Candlekeep is your home, and Gorion is your strong, loving father. But your happiness is shattered to pieces once Gorion takes you on a journey. You are attacked by a group of assassins. From what they say you understand they are after you. You barely escape, but Gorion dies in battle. The people of Candlekeep won't let you in, because they are afraid to attract to themselves the wrath of those who are trying to kill you. Only Imoen, another orphan child who was brought up by Gorion and whom you treat as a sister, is willing to be by your side. You have nothing, no place to call your home, just your companion and the wide world in front of you. And thus your journey begins..."Baldur's Gate" is a role-playing game that uses the rule set of Advanced Dungeons & Dragon (AD&D). You create your hero by choosing one of the available classes (fighter, thief, mage, priest, ranger, and druid, including sub-classes, dual- and multi-class characters), his (or her) alignment, weapon proficiency etc. For the combat system, a special engine called Infinity Engine is used: the battles are turn-based, but are so fast-paced that the player has an illusion of fighting in real time. You can pause the battle at any time and assign commands (such a spells) to your party members. You can also freely move them around during battles. Set in the universe of Forgotten Realms, "Baldur's Gate" is the first part of the saga that lets you explore various towns and wilderness, undertake many side-quest, and find companions for your long journey.

Baldur's Gate 2 is a party-based roleplaying game using the AD&D rules.Welcome to the beautiful land of Amn, where the sun always shines and evil mages grow and prosper. One of these is the powerful sorcerer Irenicus, who takes delight in studying mortal offspring of the gods -- such as you. Remember Baldur's Gate 1? You've been revealed to be a child of Bhaal (aka Lord of Terror, Bringer of Destruction, and so on), and your battle against the evil side of your soul is the main theme in Baldur's Gate 2. At your side: The well-known companions Imoen, Jaheira and Minsc (and his hamster Boo, of course) as well as a score of new potential party members. All in all, there are 16 NPCs to join you on your journey; however, your party consists of a maximum of 6 characters.As in Baldur's Gate 2, the frequent battles are real-time, but can be paused at any time with the space key. You may then think over tactical decisions, issue new orders or chose a spell. There's plenty of those: With over 300 magical formulae, the repertoire has almost tripled since Badur's Gate. Upon character creation, you can chose three new classes (sorcerer, monk, barbarian) and a lot of new specializations for the already existing classes; a paladin can become a dragon slayer or an inquisitor, for example. The weapon categories have been split up; instead of specializing in blades, you now have to chose between long swords, two-handed swords, bastard swords, katanas and scimitars. All in all, there are 20 weapon categories and 4 fighting skills like “two weapons”.The backgrounds may now be viewed in the resolution of 800x600 pixels, as well as the old 640x480. The game also supports 3D accelerators for improved lighting effects.

Your journeys have taken you far. From your humble beginnings as a youth in the security of Candlekeep, to the depths of slaved-worked mines, to the cloak-and-dagger politics of Baldur's Gate, to your final confrontation with your brother Sarevok. You have been as far down as the capital city of Amn and had to deal with the depraved obsessions of the madman Jon Irenicus and an army of the undead. You have seen the death of friends, gained new companions, met lovers, and dealt with the death of the only father you have ever know. You have been forced to come to grips with the fact that you are a son of the murder god, Bhaal. After much hardship and toil it has come down to this. It all ends here in Tethyr. War is waging and as the Bhaal-spawn battle for dominance, you stand in the center of the struggle. It is time to end your questing and get the answers you have sought for so very long.Baldur's Gate II: The Throne of Bhaal is the final chapter in an epic saga of games following the adventures of your character through the Forgotten Realms universe. You will encounter new characters, new lands, new items, quests, monsters, and the answers you so desperately deserve.

This add-on to the widely popular Baldur's Gate gives you new items, voices, abilities, and quests. This does not offer an extension to the main plot of the game but offers you four new quests, all of which are very large and will take hours to complete. It adds new areas to the game world, including a town named Ulgoth's Beard and a large dungeon, Durlag Tower. The game is played from an overhead view and is very much just click-and-play gaming. The game is set in the most popular realm for Advanced Dungeons And Dragons, the Forgotten Realms.

A self-proclaimed "quest for coin and cleavage", The Bard's Tale is more of a whimsical take on role playing games than a remake of the classic series. Following the exploits of The Bard (voiced by Cary Elwes), this single player game adds humor to the traditional sword & sorcery mix. As The Bard, players can fight off hordes of foes with blade and bow and summon companions through magical Bard Songs. The Bard's Tale uses the Dark Alliance engine and has a similar camera and control scheme.

The world exists apart from Chaos through the use of a Magical Crystal. This crystal gives life to the world. Outside the realm of the crystal's power, there is Chaos -- no sunlight and no magic.The world is made up of Elves, Humans, and Dwarves, though the dwarves have moved underground. Through trickery by a wizard who wanted to destroy the crystal, the elves waged war against the humans in an effort to destroy the crystal. However, the humans were able to defeat the elves.The wizard did not like losing and has brought the undead and other monsters into the world to destroy it.It is up to you to search for and find this crystal in order to prevent the chaos that is threatening your world.Characters in the game will respond to your actions as well as live their lives without your intervention. This allows the game to become that much more real as you take your character through quests in an effort to locate the crystal.You may choose from four characters for your own character (three types of mages as well as a mage that specialized in tactics). Then choose upgrades for your character and find various armors, weapons, and artifacts to help you on your journey. You may recruit units to help you in your quests as your travel throughout the lands.A very unique piece to this game is that you can view the entire map by scrolling around... but if you move too far from your units, you will start losing mana.

Battle Realms: Winter of the Wolf is a stand-alone expansion to Battle Realms, so it doesn't require that players own the original game. The expansion adds new structures, units, and heroes for each of Battle Realms' four clans. It has 12 single-player campaigns and 30 multiplayer maps.The prequel's 12 new scenarios take place seven years before the events depicted in the original game, and they reveal how the Wolf clan, one of the game's four playable factions, rose from slavery under the Lotus clan.

Betrayal in Antara uses an updated version of the game engine from Betrayal at Krondor. However, it does NOT continue the Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar saga, but instead starts a new tale of similar events: Save the empire of Antara from corruption and war.

Beyond Divinity is a role-playing game in which you play a servant to "the Divine" whose purpose in life is to oppose Evil at every turn. Instead of having a traditional "party", your only companion is your enemy .. a Death Knight soul-forged to you by a vengeful demon. Neither you nor your disgruntled, somewhat comical "soul mate" like the arrangement and would rather be free of each other as soon as possible. So together you take off in search of a way to undo the forging.The game plays out in 4 Acts over a huge territory. You begin in a dungeon-like jail and progress out into the open landscape (once escaping your prison). Explore an imp village, a monster-infested forests, atmospheres of fire and ice as well as numerous mysterious islands on your journey.There are over 140 different non-player characters including friendlies and monsters of various types. More than 300 sub-quests can be discovered by interacting with the NPCs, many of which are entirely optional. In addition to the main game questing, there are separate "battlefield" areas within each Act that have nothing to do with the main plot but are accessed by finding special keys in the main game. Intended to help you increase your skills, these accessory areas have more quests, multi-leveled dungeons as well as merchants and special objects that cannot be found anywhere else.The game is both keyboard and mouse controlled and is played out entirely in 3rd person, isometric perspective. Your character can be a male or female and there is a choice of several classes chosen during the character generation process. You control your "henchman" Death Knight in the same manner you would any other party member. Like your own character, you provide him with equipment and direction while exploring and battling. He can carry just as much (sometimes more) inventory and has his own abilities and skills.Although there are occasional in-game references to Larian's previous title, Divine Divinity, Beyond is not a sequel to Divine. It does use the same basic engine as the previous game but with improved party control, new interaction with objects and the environment.

BioShock is considered the spiritual successor of System Shock 2 and mixes first-person shooting with role-playing elements. In the year 1960 a plane crashes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with you as the only survivor. You have the apparent luck of resurfacing in front of what looks like a door to an underwater complex. Without hesitating, you enter the door and soon you are taught that this is the city of Rapture, a paradise of free will build in the 40s by Andrew Ryan, visually and socially inspired by objectivism of Ayn Rand. However, even before you assimilate all this new information, the descent to this supposed paradise ends and you only see ruins and chaos. Learning about the destiny of Rapture will be now your main motivation while you have to survive to the horrors that the free will can create.A sci-fi plot based on a social system that fails is not the only thing BioShock shares with it predecessor, as many features of its gameplay and even elements of Rapture are easily recognizable in SS2. Bioshock is an FPS, but with many elements that make the gameplay more complex than just shooting your enemies while advancing in the game. In addition to the usual, and not so usual, fire and melee weapons, the main character can use "plasmids", genetic tools created in Rapture that can give superpowers, like telekinesis or fire throwing, to those who use them. The enemies are also more complex, in the sense that they do not always go after your character to kill him. Most of them are inhabitants of Rapture, victims of the bizarre experiments performed in the city and empowered themselves with plasmids. There are also security devices that you can use for your advantage or creatures with symbiotic relationships like the "Big Daddies" and the "Little Sisters" and many others to be discovered. All of these features and some abilities of interaction with the surrounding give the player many ways of facing each situation.The entire game takes place in an underwater setting using an improved Vengeance engine, a heavily modified version of UnrealEngine3. Rapture is in ruins, you can see that everywhere you go and water is the key to all this. Water is what surrounds you and the city all the time and what slowly devours it with you inside. The water also helps building the dark atmosphere of Rapture the same way genetic engineering (and underwater architecture) helps establishing the sci-fi bases of the plot. Both, the setting and the plot are completed with many 50s furniture and propaganda, à la the Fallout series.The Xbox 360 and Windows version were released simultaneously. A PS3 port was only announced afterwards and was released more than a year later. There are no graphical improvements, except for the "horizontal plus" widescreen option that was introduced through a Xbox 360 patch. The cut-scenes are also in a higher resolution. A new addition is the Survivor Mode with a harder difficulty level.

Bookworm Adventures follows the tale of a little green worm named Lex (of the original Bookworm game) throughout 3 themed books as he spells words to defeat evil monsters. The main game interface is a 4x4 grid of letters, and unlike in the original Bookworm game, the letters do not need to connect to form words.

Treasures do many things, ranging from increasing damage for using certain letters, to stunning the enemy, and a whole lot more. A player can only choose 3 treasures to bring with them into a chapter (out of an eventual total of 31).The game is part RPG, part word game. Eventually, the player will find that enemies can cause status ailments such as poison, bleeding, burning, stun, petrification, etc. These range from causing damage over time, to loss of a turn, to weakening their attacks. Through the use of certain treasures, items and special gem tiles, the player can cause similar inflictions to the enemy. In addition, after defeating a monster the player is awarded experience points, which will lead to a level up which imparts a bonus of either extra health, attack power increase, or defensive ability increased.The player is rewarded with gem tiles for spelling words of longer length (and also by using certain treasures which increase their frequency of appearance).

The sword is the Daikatana, a weapon wielded by your ancestors, and you are… a guy with guns that fires at things a lot.

You are Arkhan. Born in a post-apocalyptic world, you were raised in a Stallite (Citadel of Light), one of the few places in the world with natural sunlight.

A long time ago an extreme powerful mage called the Seventh Dragon banished all demons from the world and paid with his death for this. But the prophecies tell that after a 1000 years, a Dark Messiah - half human, half demon - will return to the earth to destroy the barrier that stands between the worlds. Now twenty years ago a Demon Lord successfully mates with Isabel Queen of the Griffin Empire and all attempts of the Emperor to exorcist her fail (you can play this mission in Heroes of Might and Magic V) and the Dark Messiah is born. Also he doesn't know it yet, his goal is to optain the Skull of the Seventh Dragon called Skull of Shadows from Skull Island, where it is guarded by the orcs and destroy the barrier between the worlds with it.
The name of the Dark Messiah is Sareth and he's an mage apprentice. One day his master sends him to Stonehelm to help another mage retrieve the Skull. And so the Prophecy seems to become real. But it is yours to decide if you use the Skull, once you've optained it, for good or for evil since you are playing Sareth.Dark Messiah of Might & Magic is a 1st-person action game set in the medieval age so instead of guns you use swords, bows and magic to defeat your enemies. As you progress through the story you obtain skill points which you can invest in one of three skill trees called Combat, Magic and Stealth. How you skill Sareth directly influences the combat in the game. You can either play like an assassin and backstab your enemies to oblivion or make him a perfect sword-fighter who can use different combos to take out his enemies for example.But you can also use your environment to make your kills. There're countless items you can lift up and throw at your enemy or you can light up your arrow on a campfire nearby to inflict more damage. You can also make good use of your foot and kick your enemies off cliffs or kick them into spikes that come out of the wall or use other traps that are scattered in the levels like bringing a statue to a fall. The main innovation in Dark Messiah is the so-called Body Awareness System. This basically means that Sareth is a real part of the world like every other NPC. This makes not only the whole combat more intense because your whole body moves with every sword-swing you make but the NPCs can interact more directly with you. For example a Orc can take you by your neck and throw you through the room.If you've already saved (or damned) the world you can turn to the multiplayer-mode. There you've access to five different character classes from the knight to the priestess. With each kill you make you earn experience points and increase in rank. Then you get skill points you can invest in your skill tree to get new talents or upgrade existing ones. This is most important in the Conquest game-mode in which you play various maps in a row and keep your level between all the way. In the Conquest-mode two teams (Humans and Undead) fight over the possession of the flags on a map. Once one team holds all flags, it wins and the next map is loaded. But there's also normal (Team-)Deathmatch available.

In the world of Amagar, a magical spell has caused a disasterous solar eclipse. In its wake come the return of the Dark Elves. As the Chosen One, your job is to destroy the Dark Elves and bring sunlight back to your land.This is a Tomb Raider-style hack-and-slash in a medieval setting. You've got the choice of three separate characters: Jetrel the Warlock, Kite the Trickster, and Nanoc the Gladiator. The character you select has a greater effect on the game than just what you look like and what attacks you can do. The levels also vary. In the levels themselves, you'll find items that only your character can use, but then again, you'll also find some power-ups that are useless.

Darkstar One puts you in the shoes of Kayron Jarvis. Fresh from the flight-academy he learns from an good friend of his father, that his mysterious death was caused by sabotage. As a last gift from his father, he get's the ownership of the one-of-a-kind ship Darkstar One and now makes his way to find out the truth behind his fathers death.Darkstar is a mix of Freelancer and Wing Commander: Privateer as you can fly your ship either with a mouse or a joystick. As you solve the riddle you can visit 330 star-systems in which you can trade goods from other systems, take contracts like blasting a pirate gang out of the sky or try to be a pirate yourself. Every action influences the reputation with at least one faction and the game gives you total freedom in what you want to do or what career you want to pursue.Or you can search for artifacts. As oppose to other games, you don't buy a bigger ship. Through the whole game you only fly the Darkstar One. You upgrade the ship through artifacts you found in asteroids. If you've enough artifacts for an upgrade, you can boost the basic attributes of the ship. This enables you to install more and bigger weapons or goodies like a shield-booster.

Darkstone is a 100% Diablo clone. But there's a difference you'll recognize immediately: it's 3D. But this is not the only "improvement"--the second most important thing is probably that you're in control of two characters. The other character is computer controlled, and you can switch between them at any time. Also, Darkstone has lots of new spells and skills. You're walking through huge woods, have to solve a lot of riddles and descend into deep and dark dungeons.

Dawn of Magic is a third-person hack&slash RPG. Major different of that game from most "Diablo clones" - all four characters available for the player are mages.Your main goal in game is to help destroy the earth or save it. The game tells the story about immortal Modo who, for his crimes, was banished from the Afterlife and sent to live on the Earth as a mortal.Players can play as a good character too and help Modo or stop him from reaching his ultimate goal - destroying the Earth. The game has a lot of humor and cultural references in all its quests and sub quests.Dawn of Magic has very interesting combat systems where you can combine different spells to get a new one with unique abilities. Game control is very similar to most hack and slash games. You use mouse to control character and keyboard to select spells from a toolbar.

Deathkeep is a 1st person perspective single-player "shooter" game with a touch of medieval AD&D gameplay in a full 3D environment.STORY

The Elven Mage focuses all her might in magical offense and defense. Spells may be found or learned as experience grows. Don't get too close to the enemy since a walking stick doesn't do much damage to bloodthirsty monsters!Gameplay consists mostly of adventuring and flattening every living and non-living creature in your way. Destroying monsters allow your character to level-up and becoming more powerful as well as gaining new spells. The dungeons are filled with traps, streams, caverns, ledges and every possible obstacle to lose your way in this maze of mazes.

Fang was once a proud and rich city, until Baron Sukumvit took over. Under his rule, the city is known as the City of the Lost Souls. Deep inside the mountains surrounding the city, Baron Sukumvit built a labyrinth, named Deathtrap Dungeon, and used it to imprison his enemies. Filled with vulgarities, traps and disgusting monsters, the dungeon is a very dangerous place. With his enemies gone, the Baron now has opened up the dungeon to sport and sends willing heroes down into it's depths, betting on the likelihood of their survival. If anyone could survive all levels of the dungeon, and slay the red dragon Melkor, they would receive 10.000 gold pieces and Baron Sukumvit would renounce his rule over Fang.

The melee weapons include basic fists to normal swords to a magic enhanced war hammer. In the range weapons department are goodies like bombs or a flame-thrower. In terms of spells are magicks such as fireballs or rather crazy spells like the exploding pig. But the real challenge are of course the riddles, traps and abysses that are everywhere throughout the dungeon.During the journey, players will encounter many locked doors, that require the finding of keys and devices. There are also potions that regenerate health or provide immunity against fire for a limited amount of time. There are also several treasures hidden in the dungeon, finding them will increase the player's score at the end of the level. The player can save this game during a level by finding the various save points.The game also features the two multiplayer-modes: Deathmatch and Last Man Standing.

Not this time, however... The game type Real Time Strategy, mixed with a lot of role playing elements. The RTS part is streamlined in a way that makes this game quite different to play from other such games. The city building part is a simplified; you don't have to build worker units or manage the layout of your cities. The resource gathering is taken care of by the units you produce or even your hero. The game has a surface level and an underground level. Above ground you command your units as in any other RTS, but below ground it's more like a hack n slash dungeon crawler. The D&D rules apply, and you will recognize many of the artifacts and spells if you are familiar with D&D.In the single player campaign you get to choose from four heroes before each map, each one with different qualities, and you can equip them with various items before each mission. During the campaign you get quests and side quests in traditional RPG style. Once you solve them, you gain experience points that can be spent on upgrading your units.The game also contains multiplayer support and a map editor.

Dungeon Siege is a direct descendant of the grandfather of all of today's Hack'n'Slay "roleplaying" games, Diablo. In Dungeon Siege, you control one or more heroes in a gigantic 3D modeled fantasy world, slaying hundreds of monsters, casting spells and gathering experience points and valuable items.The story is as simple as it is in the game's predecessors: you are a humble, yet unnamed farmer, whose lands are devastated by the evil Krug. Of course, you can't let this just happen to you, so you set for revenge...Where Diablo (and Diablo II) had hand-drawn or pre-rendered graphics, Dungeon Siege takes the 3D approach. The entire world is rendered in real time, and there is no loading between levels - since there are no levels. It's more like the Ultima 7/8 games, where you have one gigantic world plane to roam.As already expected, there are literally hundreds of monsters already awaiting our farmer, and of course there are many different weapons and items for him (or his party members) to acquire. This as well is a different approach - you can have a real party, all controlled by yourself (or your multiplayer friends, for that matter).

This Deluxe Edition includes Dungeon Siege II, its add-on Broken World, a bonus disc containing making-of material, concept art and printable portraits, plus a map of Aranna

Stand alone expansion pack for Dungeon Siege.This expansion pack includes a new single player campaign with new content (monsters, weapons, armor, spells, etc.), as well as multiplayer and user interface improvements.This game comes packaged with the original Dungeon Siege, and does not require owning the original game.

Since Knights of the Nine was a short new story set in the same region (Cyrodiil), Shivering Isles is the first real expansion for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.A new portal opens in Niben Bay, Cyrodiil, and it leads to the torn realm of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. In that realm exists an island that represents the madness of Sheogorath himself with its two sides Mania and Dementia. Each side is the exact duplicate of the other but with the difference that one side is pure depression and the other pure (but don't expect it being less deadlier) happiness - which also changes the look and behavior of the NPCs and monsters. But something is happening to the island and Sheogorath is looking for a champion to take care of it: you.On the Shivering Isles you will find new many new dungeons, items, ingredients and spells which you can of course take back to Cyrodiil as well. Many new quests and questlines await the adventurer of which many rely on the different sides of the Shivering Isles. For instance, one quest requires you to kill an NPC but it is up to you if you kill the one on the Evil side or his exact counter-part on the Good side.

The Elder Scrolls: Arena is a first-person role-playing game, in which you must rescue the Emperor from his dimensional prison by recovering the eight pieces of the Staff of Chaos. It is the first chapter in the Elder Scrolls series and it is huge.

Enclave is a third-person action-adventure game, pitting you as one of twelve different characters in a medieval era.During a great war, the land of Celenheim was separated into two sides; the light side and the dark side. On the side of the Light, the Enclave was protected from all sides by a wide rift, a bottomless abyss. On the Dark side, twisted forms struggled for survival, while slowly growing more powerful, preparing to invade the Light side once again.As a player of either side, it is up to you to perform various tasks, leading ultimately to one objective; protect the Enclave (Light) or invade the land (Dark).To accomplish your tasks, you will utilize various weapons, such as swords, bows, staffs and spears. To aid you, you have shields readily available, as well as a select few potions to help. Armor is abundant, and comes in many shapes and sizes.As a member of the Light side, you can choose to play as a Knight, a Huntress, a Wizard, a Druid, an Engineer or a Halfling. At the opposite end of the spectrum, you can be a Berserker, an Assassin, a Sorceress, a Lich, a Bombardier, or a Goblin.

Paradise City is a cruel city ruled by a gangster-organisation more powerful than anything the NSA has seen before. Known as the Aeternitas-case all agents but the special agent Walther J. Kovacs refuse to take over the case of the mysterious disappearance of all the cops in the city. To find out who is behind all this he forces three individuals to work for him. Since each of them has a different task in solving the puzzle and operate in different parts of the city, the player only controls one of them at once. The three characters are very different.Nicolas "Nick" Porter is a former thief and was forced to choose between life in prison or working for the NSA. He's specialised in range combat and uses guns and machine-pistols. Angel Vargas is instead more into close combat and uses her fists, knives and bats. She got the job because she killed a cellmate that tried to kill her. The last of them is Boris Chekov. He's a corrupt cop that is used to command people around and only trusts pistols.Since the game is a mix of RPG and Strategy, you earn XP for completing quests and killing thugs. Once you level up you gain attribute and skill points. With the attribute points you improve your mental and physical stats. The skill points are instead used to advance in the three different skill-tress "Marksmanship", "Tricks of the trade" and "Crowd control". Of course this isn't enough to deal with all those bad guys so you can also find and buy different kinds of items and weapons to give your character even more advantage.The strategy and managerial part of the game manifests itself in the fact that the maps are divided into districts. You conquer these districts by "persuading" the district boss. He will then tell all the shops that you are the new boss and the money flows in. But in a city with such a high crime rate, you can't leave a district alone while conquering another. You've to hire thugs that guard the district and defend it against enemy attacks.The four different kinds of thugs are range and melee fighters, medics and a scout which runs through the district and alarms the other when he sees an enemy inside the district. To make your guys more powerful you can buy some upgrades for them.The game also features two multiplayer-modes called "Assassination" and "Domination". While the goal in "Assassination" is to kill the enemy players a specified number of times, you need to conquer all districts on the map in the "Domination"-mode.

A turn based strategy game set in a fantasy world.Etherlords converts the world of trading card games to a computer game. The heroes in the game are the units you move around the strategic map, much like the HoMM-series. But instead of having hordes of creatures following your hero, he/she is equipped with a deck of 15 cards. With these cards you can summon creatures and of course cast different spells. In the beginning you have only the standard set of cards available for your race (there are 4 different races), but as you capture different locations on the strategic map you can buy new more powerful cards. To buy cards you need resources, which you collect in the common strategy-gaming way (i.e. picking up resources just lying around or capturing mines).Both the strategic map and the battlefield are fully in 3D with detailed 3D-effects.

Etherlords 2 is just as the first one a turn-based strategy game, where the battle system is similar to collectible card games. You move your hero around an overland map, and when facing enemies you get into battle mode. However, there is one big difference from the first game : On the overland map you now move in real-time. The game is also more focused on roleplaying than before.In single player mode you can play either just one duel or the entire campaign. There are four races available (Vitals, Kinets, Chaots and Synthets) and they all have their own campaign. There's also a fifth campaign where you control the mythical hero Diamanda.

In this sci-fi action/rpg, you take the role of Etrom, an officer in a futuristic dystopia world of Syghundia. During a mission, Etrom encounters something called an Astral Essence, and has since left the force in search of answers, which leads up the the first mission: finding a prophet named Johan.The game is played primarily with the mouse, utilizing a point-and-click interface for movement (i.e. you click on the screen, and Etrom travels to that location.) The game is fully 3D, and played from an overhead/isometric perspective, and you can move the camera with either the keyboard or mouse.

There's trouble in the land of Gipath. Legends tell of the Chosen One that will come and save its inhabitants. However, they didn't think he'd appear as a mere boy with blond hair and grey pantaloons...You play the role of a young man named, Zak, who finds himself dazed and confused in a middle of some ruins. Without any idea who or where he is, he must travel between three islands in search of his identity, with plenty of tasks to accomplish. One of the unique things with this game is that you had a certain amount of freedom on how you wanted to complete your tasks. During the course of the game, you'll find new enemies and allies. Your party can support up to three people, and these are more or less fixed because of scripting. The difficulty quickly becomes pretty steep, and each completed mission leaves you with a feeling of "accomplishment". This game also features blueprints in which you can create your own armor, weapons and so on if you have the materials required. There are several types of materials, some sporting better qualities than others, but then again they're equally harder to come by. Even though somewhat awkward to use, the crafting part formed the start of a trend; user freedom in how players interact and create items in a game. The player is responsible for equipping every character in the party with items from his or her travels.The gameplay highly focuses on outwitting your enemies by crawling or sneaking to back stab and surprise your enemies, or pickpocketing a valuable item from an unsuspecting victim. The use of magic is also highly recommended, as many of the enemies you'll meet are best met with a fire bolt or a lightning strike at long range. The gallery of enemies varies from orcs, wizards and skeletons to mighty Dragons, Lizards and Cyclops.

Fable: The Lost Chapters is the same game as Lionhead's Fable, which was released for the Xbox only, but with enhancements to gameplay, story and graphics.In this version, you'll find new areas to explore, more magical spells and side quests, as well as more atmospheric effects, new weapons, armor and accessories. Also the story continues, and you do not finish the game, where the original Fable did. Instead you continue the fight into new places. In the Windows and Mac versions, you even have the ability to create your own tattoo design and import it into the game. Other changes for the PC and Mac include a simple mouse & keyboard interface.

Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit in Europe) is an psychological thriller, in which you play 4 different characters on both sides of a murder - the killer and those who are trying to find him.The game begins as Lucas Kane, the main character, under the control of an unknown force, uncontrollably murders a complete stranger in a New York diner. As the game progresses, you will also play Lucas' brother Markus Kane, who became a priest, as well as each of the police detectives investigating the murder, Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles.You will play through 44 fast-paced chapters as this "paranormal thriller" unfolds. Good reflexes and hand-to-eye coordination are necessary to get through the many action sequences. You'll be able to explore the environment and interact with it, and many tasks have a time limit and will require you to act quickly.

You are sent to retrieve a chip from another Vault. And you venture outside, to face a dangerous world and to find your place in it.Fallout is a RPG that utilizes a character development system called S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (the word is formed from the first letters of the game's most important character attributes). You can customize your character's parameters and skills, making him a strong melee fighter, a computer freak, a charismatic leader, a skillful sniper, and many more. You can specialize in various types of weapons, become proficient in conversations with people, etc. The game world offers a non-linear exploration: you can either follow the main story or perform one of the many sub-quests, visiting the game's locations in your preferred order. The game utilizes a turn-based combat system. Your party members (if you recruit any) are controlled by the computer AI. Each action (movement, attack, using a healing item, etc.) costs you action points; once they are depleted, your turn ends.

The sequel to the legendary Fallout, starts 80 years after its predecessor. When the First Vault Dweller was forced from his home, he walked north until he found some new friends and found a tribe in a suitable place. But some years after his death, the tribe, your tribe is also dying. The Elders decide you are the chosen one and you have to find the salvation, G.E.C.K. (short for "Garden of Eden Creation Kit"). Sadly your only clue is the ancient disks the Vault Dweller left. And your only equipment is his clothes and PipBoy. With courage and determination you leave to save your village, unaware of the consequences your actions will carry.More talking faces, more dialogue options, a larger world, more easter-eggs, more equipment and weapons, more NPCs and even a car to drive at your leisure awaits you. Of course there are more deadlier enemies as well.

With the gods Innos and Beliar finally destroyed, Xardas predicted a thousand years of peace. They envisioned an era of rebuilding and understanding between the races of men and orcs. But instead out of the ashes of the Orcwar a new empire began to rise.In the north Gorn, ruler of Gotha in the north, assembled an army and started to rage war against Thorus. Thorus, the new ruler of the Orcs, of course couldn't just sit on his throne in Trelis and let Gorn slaughter the Orcs. So he himself began to attack the caravans and outposts around Geldern. Meanwhile Lee, the ruler of the kingdom in the east, decided to stay out of the skirmish and wait it out. Inog and Anog, the rulers of the lands surrounding Silden in the west, on the other hand are not in any position to stand up against Thorus or Gorn.Watching all this from a different plane of existence, the nameless hero decided to go back to Myrtana. Xardas tries to stop him and a battle ensues from which neither comes out as the victor. In the end Xardas vanishes and the nameless hero wakes up in a bed in Silden, under the distrustful eyes of Anog - and without his former strength. So the player once again takes over the control of the nameless hero in order to enforce the peace and he needs to decide which side he will be on. The gameplay remains the same as in the original game although the world is much smaller now and some changes are noticeable in it. Looking over the hero's shoulders, the player still takes on quests, kills monsters and ultimately gains experience to advance to the next level. This in return grants access to talent points to invest into different abilities like forging or learning how to fight with two weapons against the countless, but already known, enemies. To fight against them, the player again has access to countless melee and ranged weapons, armor and useful potions which he either finds or makes himself during the course of the adventure.The only real change can be found in the combat system which features an overhauled parry system and now heavily depends on the available stamina because if none is available, the hero can't swing his sword anymore and is totally defenseless. He can also perform a new, shooter-like strife move which allows him to get quickly out of harms way.

Gothic II begins soon after Gothic ended: the demon known as The Sleeper has been banished and the magical barrier around the prison mining colony on the isle of Khorinis destroyed. The nameless hero who accomplished this, however, had to pay a high price: he lies buried under a pile of rocks.Until he is revived by renegade mage Xardas. A new threat is rising: evil armies, led by dragons, are gathering in the old mine valley. Someone has to take the news to the people of Khorinis and help them in defeating this menace.
But the people have their own problems: the war against the Orcs is still raging on on the mainland, and the king has sent his paladins to Khorinis to make sure that the mining of the magical ore continues, now that the prisoners have fled the mine. Many of the former prisoners have now become mercenaries, hired by the farmers on the island, who refuse to obey the king and his minions any longer. Violent conflict seems inevitable.The 3D RPG Gothic II uses a refined version of the original Gothic's engine and controls. The world is many times larger than in the first game: the mine valley (which has changed a lot in the meantime) is still accessible, but is only a relatively small part of the game now. As in the original game, the player can join one of three different factions, with the choice influencing the player character's abilities, opening up different quests and changing the details of the story. The available factions are the city militia, the mercenaries and the fire mages.Combat and magic are action-based and happen in real time, as in the previous game.Gothic II also simulates a functioning world, where every NPC follows a daily schedule, and many objects are usable.

Long ago, the battle of light and darkness was held, pitting the god Granas against the demon Valmar. Though scars of the battle still mark the land, time has passed and the people of the world have built new civilizations and kingdoms to colonize the planet. The "Day of Darkness" will someday occur, heralding the resurrection of Valmar.Ryudo is a "GeoHound", a mercenary available for hire, usually for slaying monsters and recovering goods. Working with a talking bird named Skye, who sites on Ryudo's shoulder, they will "do anything" if the price is right One day Ryudo receives a job from a branch of the Church of Granas, they ask Ryudo to become a bodyguard for a young priestess named Elena during a prayer ceremony. During the ceremony, strange events occur requiring Ryudo to escort Elena on a journey towards the Grandia 2 is a 3D RPG, viewed from a top-down perspective for most of the game and a 3rd person view during battle. Controlling Ryudo, the player will explore various locations, locating townspeople and objects within an area to interact with. Towns and dungeons are displayed in the same manner, though dungeons tend to be mazes filled with monsters and towns tend to be friendly areas filled instead with conversation and shops. Any monsters present in these areas will be shown walking around. Walking over to and touching the monster in any way will activate a battle. If the monster notices the player approaching it is considered a normal battle, if Ryudo is able to approach undetected the player's party will gain the initiative in battle, if any party member besides Ryudo is approached by the enemy then the party loses initiative.In battle, each character is able to choose from a list of actions that include "attack combos" (standard attack command), Special Abilities/Magic, "Critical Strike", Guard, Evade and Escape. Critical Strikes are weaker versions of attack combos with the advantage that they can block an enemy's action. This partly depends on the positions of the character on the action bar, displayed at the bottom of the screen, which shows each character (and enemy's) time to act within the battle. Some magic spells and special abilities are also able to block enemy actions, though they take longer to perform than normal attacks. Both combo attacks and critical attacks require the attacker to run up to the enemy in order to perform the action. This depends heavily on the character's individual movement as well as other characters acting as obstacles on the screen. Successfully defeating enemies in battle awards experience points, power points, magic points, gold and items.

During World War II, Hitler's Third Reich sought out and pilfered art and wealth, hording their stolen booty in secret strongholds. This game takes place during that time.

Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2 is a Third Person Action/Adventure, based on the Heavy Metal franchise (the comic books, movie, cartoon, etc).The story takes place some years after the most recent movie, and basically involves big bad aliens threatening the planet of Eden, the home of Julie (aka F.A.K.K. 2) and other people rescued in the aforementioned movie. So Julie, being the heroine she is, sets out to stop invasion and send the baddies packing. To accomplish this you get to use weapons ranging from many types of swords (fire, electrical, chainsaw, etc) to a rocket launcher to guns like a pistol, uzi, and shotgun. There are even a few sheilds and some armor. The game has both left and right handed attacks, so you can hold a firesword in one hand, for example, and an uzi in the other. This also allows for special combo moves which are used to kill powerful monsters quicker.You have health to watch, of course, but there is also Eden water. It not only provides some protection, depending on how much you have, but also allows Julie to run faster, jump farthur, and jump higher. Eden water is also needed to power some weapons. The more of it you have, the better.Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2 is powered by the Quake III engine.

It's the year 2038 and London lies in ruins. The nearby Hellgate has turned the sky gray and it's presence dominates the horizon. The Invasion eradicated the powerful nations of man and the decades-long process called The Burn has begun which alters and assimilates our world to make it feel more like home for the demons that now roam the streets of the destroyed city. The last surviving members of mankind are hiding in the shadows deep down in the former train stations of the city and do what they can to fight back and perhaps even stop the madness.The game is an Action-RPG very similar to Diablo II. At the beginning you choose one of the three available factions called "The Templar", "The Cabalists" and "The Hunters". Each faction also features two different classes. For example the Templar use swords and fight face to face with the demon hordes but you can choose if you want to be a Templar Guardian or a Templar Blademaster. While the Guardian is more of a tank which uses his sword and shield to go deep into the crowd and increases his effectiveness when he's surrounded by demons, the Blademaster wields two swords at once and tries to kill his enemies as fast as possible.The choice of your character also changes the way you will play the game. While it is better for a melee-character to see his surroundings and so playing from a 3rd-person view, the classes that use guns are better off in the 1st-person view because they need to aim right at an enemy to really hit him. Of course you can change the view at any given time.What remains the same for all the characters is the core gameplay. You kill monsters, fulfill quests to level up your character and get the precious talent points you then invest in your attributes and the big skill tree to unlock new abilities or make you stronger. On your way you'll also find many items like armor or weapons. Although most of the stuff is limited to specific class, you can always dismantle an item in the hope of getting crafting material out of it. If you have enough material you then can upgrade your gear at the train stations.Although Hellgate: London has a single player-component, the main focus of the game lies on the multiplayer-mode which comes in two flavors: free of costs and a monthly subscription-based premium access. The premium model grants you access to additional content and other benefits like an additional Hardcore Mode (when the character dies, the character stays dead forever) or more inventory storage space. But both player types are on the same servers and can play together.

In Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games you take a group of mercenaries (mercs) through a series of missions. Gameplay is almost identical to the original Jagged Alliance, featuring overhead-view turn based combat taking place over an area map. The main difference between the two products is the addition of new mission types, new weapons, multiplayer (over an IPX network), as well as scenario and campaign editors. Players begin by hiring up to six mercenaries from a roster of many and equip them with necessary weapons and items. They are then assigned to a mission with particular and unique objectives.

Tolkien's acclaimed universe, with one important twist: there is no real interface to speak of: structures can only be built on predefined sites and, like the units, they are ordered through a circular context-sensitive command menu that ensures that you get pulled into the action.Also, the license of the game is taken from the movies, allowing it to have the voices, likeness and even clips from the Hollywood production extravaganza.

After Sauron's defeat in The Battle of the Last Alliance his most powerful servant called the Witch-King, Lord of the Nazgul fled to the Lands north of Misty Mountains. Over a thousand years have now past and the return of Sauron is near but before he can return once again to the world, the Witch-King needs to dominate the northern reaches of Middle-earth and defend his mighty stronghold against the forces of the Good.In this add-on for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II it is your goal to lead the great armies of the Witch-King called the Angmar to victory. But there are also other mentionable additions and changes which come with this add-on:All six factions from the main game now have access to new units and heroes like Prince Brand a Dwarven captain or the Uruk Deathbringers on the side of Isengard which are powerful two-handed swords-fighters.The Create-A-Hero feature got a new class called Olog-hai which consists of three Troll subtypes now available for selection. There's also a new feature called "Variable Hero Cost" which allows you to not only customize the look and abilities but also the cost to build your hero as well.The War of the Ring mode now has two new historical scenarios more and the world map got an overall update.

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II, the sequel to The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth, follows the lesser known story of the War of the North, which took place at the same time as the trilogy. EA makes use of Tolkien's other works, giving players with nearly all of the author's mythos.In this game, the Good and Evil sides have been divided into races: you can now control Elves, Dwarves and Men of West (on the Good side) and Isengard, Mordor and the Goblins (on the Evil side) independently. Still of vital importance are the heroes. The game also allows you to make your own custom hero units - including role, appearance and powers. New to Battle for Middle Earth II are naval units and naval combat.

It's the year 2017. The planet Earth sets up a research station, Vita Base, on Mars with the mission to discover if life did exist there. After a discovery there comes one last garbled message—danger, danger cliché approaching--“have opened Pandora’s box… all the evils of old Mars have flown out,” and a warning, “…if you do send a manned mission, warn the crew…Stay Alone, Stay Alive…” then nothing. So now it’s 2018, and your rescue mission to Mars crash lands. When you get to the base, the welcome wagon is made up of zombies and an alien virus that will make you look back fondly on the days of the Black Plague. You control a team of three: Kenzo, Karne and Matlock. They enter the base from different airlocks and try to discover what happened. The reason for the whole "Stay alone, stay alive" warning is that if your team members come together they end up forming into a disgusting mass of flesh -- picture the thing from Leviathan -- called a Trimorph. As you proceed though the base you find clues as to what occurred. In addition, you run into Trimorphs, some of the non zombiefied former base crew, that are bent on your destruction. They come in two sizes -- the small spidery kind which hack at your shins and jump on your face or the huge "better run like hell" monstrosities that will tear you to pieces.

This installment of the long-running RPG series Might and Magic series takes place in a world called Erathia. Humans and elves are waging war, conquering more and more land for their kingdoms, but one area of dispute remains - a small town called Harmondale. Your party earns the title of a lord in this town, winning it in a scavenger hunt. Now, as the rulers of the town, you'll have to choose whether to side with the elves or with the humans, taking quests from either of them to strengthen your bonds.Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor plays similarly to the previous installments of the series, being a party-based 3D RPG with first-person view. As before, you can alternate between turn-based and real time combat styles at any time during the battle. In the previous game, your party members could be humans only, and some of the classes were removed; "Might and Magic VII" allows you to choose between humans, elves, dwarves, and goblins, and brings back the character classes that were featured in earlier games.

In NightStone you get the chance to play a Barbarian, Sorceress and Amazon, joining forces to wade your way through a land plagued by evil to destroy the NightStone.A basic isometric roleplayer, each of your characters has a limited series of statistics and an overall 'level' that, obviously, increases as you play. Limited inventory slots exist for each character and, with only one location to sell and buy items present in the game, you will have to juggle your inventory carefully.The land you explore is split up into over 30 'sections', each of which is the basis for a single mission. Missions can be 'destroy all of monster type X', or 'find such-and-such an item' or even just make it through alive.

Saves are not possible during a single mission - only once you have completed and returned to main land overview map.Multiplayer options are also available, and the game comes with a simple-to-use adventure and mission editor that will allow you to create your own quests for up to 8 friends to play.

I was awakened on a cart which the zombies just pushed into the room, closing the doors behind them. The dim light allowed me to see the dead bodies scattered around the room, lying on tables and waiting for the zombie workers to take them away. I looked at myself. What are those scars all over my face? What are those tattoo markings on my back? And, most importantly - who am I?Maybe the floating skull, who calls himself Morte, will explain it to me? It is difficult for me to understand why Morte decided to accompany me on my quest for identity. I know only I don't remember anything. Memories of love, a woman's face, good and bad deeds of my life - all this has been replaced now by the dreadful reality of the mortuary.And so my journey began.

It was a big fight high above on the Olymp but in the end the hero won the fight and eradicated the evil from the earth. Or did he? Zeus knows that the hero missed something and sends him to the temple of Apollon on the island of Rhodos. There he hears of the evil that still resides in the one place that was not visited: the domain of Hades, the resting place of the dead. Hades commands his demons to kill all living creatures and the hero cannot allow that to happen, so he descends into the underworld, crosses the river Styx and even travels to the Elysian Fields in order to hunt Hades down and make himself a customer in his own realm.To do so the add-on Immortal Throne not only expands the level cap to 75 (+10 compared to the original game) but also adds a new mastery called "Dream". This mastery uses deceptions and illusions to seduce, disorient and, of course, kill enemies.In the item department the expansion not only adds over 500 new items but also new types of objects such as arcane formulas which, once deciphered by a Enchanter, reveal how to make powerful artifacts which can be placed in the new slot in the character screen to increase the abilities. To make these artifacts, three reagents are needed, which can be everything from relics to other artifacts and scrolls.Scrolls are new, too. They contain powerful one-time spells such as "Raise the Dead" or "Heal me completely". The last new item is the Gravestone. A Gravestone appears on the location where the hero is killed and when it is revisited, a large part of the lost experience points is regained.The companion system has also been reworked. The player can assign different behavior patterns like Aggressive or Defensive to anyone. It is now also easier to control them as they can be selected either directly with the function keys, or marked as a whole group with a single key. The new companions are not the only new NPCs in the new and old world. There are also the Carvans and the already mentioned Enchanters. In the wagons of the Caravan items can be stored for later use when the available space in the inventory becomes scarce, similar to the chest in Diablo II. Items can then be accessed anytime and at any Outpost. The Enchanter not only deciphers arcane formulas but can also remove Relics from weapons and armor.A few changes were made in the multiplayer part of the game. The most obvious is the overhaul of the lobby system. Open games now have detailed information shown including a list of the characters currently playing. Completely new is the possibility to activate PvP on a server to spice the action up a bit.Of course, this expansion brings many more small additions and changes from which the original game also profits.

This compilation bundles 3 games in the UFO series:
UFO: Aftermath
UFO: Aftershock
UFO: Afterlight

It is the Middle Ages in Europe, and people live in constant fear of demons and God's punishment. Christof is a warrior who fights the creatures of darkness. After being badly injured in a battle, he is nursed back to health by the nun Anezka in a Prague convent. Love strikes Christof when he least expects it. He realizes that it is impossible for him and Anezka to be together, but he swears to protect her and the town of Prague from demons. What he does not know is that Prague has become a battlefield for the struggle between different vampire clans. The Brujah clan sees a duty in protecting their wisdom and the unsuspecting mortals from the more vicious clans. They turn Christof into a vampire, hoping to use his skills and his passion for their cause. Christof has lost his soul, his faith, everything he had ever had, becoming one of those he had always fought and hated. But his love to Anezka has not died. And so Christof agrees to help the Brujah, getting involved in a complex net of intrigues and struggle between vampire clans, a struggle that will eventually take him to modern times, to London and New York, where his fate will finally be decided.Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption is based on White Wolf's pen-and-paper RPG. Gaining experience points, you develop Christof and other characters by increasing their statistics (such as Strength, Intelligence, Manipulation etc.) or learn and improve various disciplines, the magic spells of the game. Disciplines require blood, which can be restored with items or by feeding on enemies. Combat is done in real time. You have a party ("coterie") that is controlled by AI, but you can switch between different characters at any time. Following the ethical code of the RPG, there is a Humanity bar for Christof, which can be reduces if you kill innocents or take evil decisions in the game. The game has several different endings that depend on your Humanity level. There is also a multiplayer option.

You play as 18-year-old Amy, who is whisked away from her London home into an alternate world filled with fairies, elves, dwarves, and pixies. This is a PC game that plays a lot like a console game similar to the later Zelda games on Nintendo. It has also been compared to Pokémon because you must capture and train fairies and use them in battle against your opponent's fairies. You travel across several locations, finding map pieces, cards that, in combination with certain fairies, will enable you to access new locations, runes, keys, etc. This is a third-person, mixed genre game.
