Joyous Rebel is a nearly-overhead perspective RPG that borrows its look from Ultima VI: The False Prophet (among other games). It is of course more simple in scope than Ultima, and its unique control scheme (which uses only a few keyboard keys to control all possible game actions) reflects this. But it has decent graphics … Continue reading “Joyous Rebel”

Infernal Tome (episode 1, “Shardmoure Keep”) is a classic-style 1st person RPG dungeon crawling game. Similar to classic computer RPGs like Dungeon Hack or Eye of the Beholder, the emphasis here is on finding your way out of the 3D-like mazes. Nice graphics and sound effects complement a well-done story introduction, making this game seem … Continue reading “Infernal Tome”

Incunabula: The Unspoken Secrets is a traditional RPG game which bills itself as being “similar to the Final Fantasy series by SquareSoft”. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, as this game is pretty bland in comparison, but it has an interesting style (in high-res 640×480) and seems to use its own proprietary engine. You get … Continue reading “Incunabula: The Unspoken Secrets”

Evets is a relatively rare roguelike game that has several unusual features like controlling a party of characters instead of a solo character, and group of monsters instead of single monsters. Apart of this and the slightly unusual menu-based user interface, the game is a quite typical traditional. The game starts at the main menu, … Continue reading “Evets – The Ultimate Adventure”

Enchantasy seems to be a decent CRPG fantasy game, with the caveat that the author(s) REALLY want you to register this game. The story and environment seem pretty standard for this sort of game, with typical fantasy tropes. You walk around and use hotkeys to perform actions; thankfully the hotkeys are displayed on-screen at all … Continue reading “Enchantasy: Quest for the Eternal Grimoire”

Dungeons of Kairn shares much in common with prototypical CRPGs such as the early SSI series. The story is generic fantasy stuff: An evil mage is threatening the land, and your band of five adventurers must stop him. The game is presented in an overhead CGA graphic viewpoint when you explore an overworld and enter … Continue reading “Dungeons of Kairn”
