|
Amberstar: 8/10 points |
Solid RPG for its time. |
Arcanum - Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura: 9/10 points |
One of the best stories I've ever seen. Good atmosphere, nice grapics. Fights were only ok, because you can only contol your starting character and the joining NPCs were depending on their class not always helpful. |
Archangel: 4/10 points |
Booring. Stopped playing right in the middle. |
Bard's Tale 3 - Thief of Fate: 7/10 points |
I liked it, but it didn't impressed me as much as BT1 a few years before. In the retrospective view I can't remember something very special or unique anymore. |
Black & White: 3/10 points |
True, great graphics for its time and some nice ideas. But the game play reminds me of playing a dull tamagotchi. Stopped playing right in the middle. |
Diablo: 5/10 points |
Was fun to play once in single player, but calling this a RPG is an insult for the whole genre. Almost no story, no plot, no NPC interaction or anything what you would associate with RPGs. Even the combat system were uninteresting, you just click your opponents to death with your mouse. |
Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind: 9/10 points |
This game seems to be endless. Countless tasks to fullfill, countless books to read if you wish, countless fights. I started it twice but was never able to finish it. Very Good graphics, amazing story, good atmosphere. I wounder if I'll ever see the day, where I finish it at least once. ;)
Nevertheless it hasn't impressed me so much like Gothic. |
Etherlords: 10/10 points |
Well, it's almost not a RPG or at least as much as Heroes of M&M. But it's a very good strategy game based on the trading-card-games idea. I also tried some multiplayer games and there are nearly countless posissibilities to create new awesome decks. Graphics are very well done and very nice combats animations. |
Etherlords 2: - Second Age: 9/10 points |
The fights are based on the trading-card-games idea. That it what Etherlords is about and they made it very good. But don't expect a classic RPG with thounds of NPCs to intact and a huge plot etc.
I rated the first part higher. Nevetheless the 2nd part is much more beginner friendlier. |
Icewind Dale: 9/10 points |
Great dungeon crawler.
IWD consists countless battles in Baldurs Gate style. It's more a strategy game with RPG elements as an epic RPG with some fights. |
Icewind Dale 2: 9/10 points |
A very good game. Nice Story, nice graphics and many good tactical fights. You have full control about every member of your party. Active pause allows you to give orders to your characters during combat. I could play hundreds of such RPGs. What a pitty that Black Isle closed it doors. ;( |
Legend of Faerghail: 9/10 points |
Very solid RPG in best Bard's Tale tradition. For its time amazing graphics and atmosphere on Atari ST, in particulary if you're walking in the wilderness at midnight. Though I've never finished it for some reason. |
Lionheart - Legacy of the Crusader: 6/10 points |
Singleplayer game was a little bit disapointing. You can control only one character. NPCs sometimes join your party, but they are really dull and weak. So you're forced to Hack&Slay your way through the game without any tactics and strategy. Maybe it has more multiplayer potential, with really seperated and specialized roles, but I haven't tried so far. |
Might & Magic 6 - The Mandate of Heaven: 8/10 points |
After playing some years console games (honorly mentioned Shining in the Darkness) after my ST was outdated and I still haddn't a reasonable PC available, this was one of my first RPGs for PC. It has everything I wanted. Huge environenment, good story, many quests, countless battles, nice character development. Good Game. |
Pirates of the Caribbean: 8/10 points |
Remarkable game. Good atmosphere, outstanding graphics in Carribian ambiente. (If I can't afford to go to vacation next summer, I'll probably play it again.) Challanging sea combats, but sword fights can be annoying. It also crashed very often on my system. More an adventure as a RPG. |
Summoner: 8/10 points |
Solid RPG. Everything I could imagine was well done. Combats, story, character development. I also liked the graphics in the 3D world. I picked it up in a store for only 1.99€. I expected everything, but not such a good game. |
Wizardry 8: 3/10 points |
Although I played and enjoyed many RPGs of different kind I found no access to Wiz8. Graphics are sometimes good sometimes bad and the system to advance levels was far to complicated. Without optimal distribution of skill points you'll have soon an absolutly useless party, where nothing works. So your spells have no effect, you don't hit your enemys in melee combat. Even ranged attack was annoying, because it's impossible to attack hostile archers or wizards with bow and arrow, even for your heroes in the 2nd row if a opponent stands in front of your melee characters. (Never heard of a ballistic curve?) You also get almost always circled an outnoumbered by your opponents and their is little way to prevent this. I tried it a second time with more experience in character development in that game and tips from other players, but failed again. |
