Take a compelling central character and give them a reason to adventure against overwhelming odds – that is the heart and soul of good role-playing games (RPGs). If a game has that, and follows a story that has some nice little twists and quests, then forgiving other elements is easy.

Take Morning’s Wrath, for example. This is an independent game release, featuring elements that veteran gamers will instantly recognize. But the game has a little more working for it outside of just the graphics, sound and simple gameplay mechanics.
