I have played the majority of CRPG's over the past 15 years (and many older ones), but there are none I have thought better then Betrayal at Krondor. The game has it all. It gives an incredible story, a strong combat system, a full 3D world, a rousing musical score, and strong graphics (for its time). Playing this game will inevitably (as it did with me) make you want to read Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar novels just to continue the story. The game is now freely available online. The only challenge is getting the DOS game to work on today's advanced Windows PCs, but well worth the trouble. |

This game is still good and I still play every now and then. A little to linear, and I hate when I don't have a say with whos in my party, or building someone up and they leave. You also have no say over name, class, or any sort of character creation |

It was a great game, with a great storyline. It was a bit too hard at times, but the characters are unforgettable. I cant rate it too high because i was young when i played it, and i dont think it is as good as Torment, Fallout, and Daggerfall. |

This game was an amazing release for its time. It featured a full 3D world, lots of characters from the Riftwar novels, and a well-written plot. My main complaint about this game, however, is that it's too combat-intensive, and the combat is too difficult. Maybe I just suck, but I had a lot of trouble with some of the combat sequences in the game. Still, this game is a classic and should be present in every RPG gamer's collection. |

I really never could get into this game. I bought it when it first came out, played it for about 10 hours, then completely forgot about it. It just wasn't enough to draw my attention away from the latest Ultima or Might and Magic games. A year or two later, I gave it another try - same result. I just couldn't get hooked on it. |

A huge world with a beautiful story. Highly exciting and fast paced battles. Beautiful graphics that are more realistic than quite a few modern graphics. All these factors combine into an unique game that is a must for everyone of any age, sex and religion. :) |

I am an RPG addict and you'd think I'd love this game. Well, I didn't. I never felt involved in the story. I never felt like "I" was on the quest. I was just controlling characters on a linear path, in a somewhat dull world, with way too much repetitive combat. Oh, well. My loss. |

The only downside was that you couldn't create your own characters with unique stats, however this added to the plot immensely. |

One of the best CRPGs ever, but not without flaws (some rare crashes - I had to restart after I got stuck in chapter 4). However, story is great, magic & combat system, resting, items - couldn't be better. Only it needs much DOS memory, so it is impossible to run it on Windows. I had to use my older PC486 2-3 years ago to be able to play. It was worth it, I even regret I disposed of that computer last year as I will never be able to play again :-(( If you liked the chests, I extracted some of the puzzles http://www.puchal.prv.pl/wlocks.htm
Send me e-mail if you have any comments about that or you can make tips for other puzzles. |

Simply Put. If you've never played an RPG in your entire life, BUY or GET YOUR HANDS on this game. You will never look at your computer in the same way again. I've played from start to finish three times, hundreds of hours, and I will probably do it once more. Everything is included here. Return to Krondor was great too, but too short, I beat it in like 4 days. I WOULD LOVE A 4th. DONT BUY BETRAYAL AT ANTARA! IT SUCKS. |

Betrayal at Krondor should be #1 on EVERY LIST in the Universe of best RPGs ever
anything less is a tragic Atrocity and gross mis-carriage of justice
Betrayal at Krondor is simply perfect in every single way. |

The strength of the feeling of being part of the story of an RPG is a trade-off on the volume of randomness within the game.
Whilst many like the ability to generate their own character with attributes of their own choosing (this is half the fun), whilst this also brings a level of flexibility and possibilities, the result is a character with no.....character - no history. You don't know anything about that character except that which is randomly generated and assigned. There is very little depth to that character.
This is where Betrayal at Krondor differs to most RPGs. This story telling RPG has all its characters, monsters and landscape completely defined from the start and whilst there is no room for creating your character, you get a complete feel for the character's personality throughout the game as you do with all the people and many enemies that you meet on the way.
Don't make the mistake into thinking that this means that the world is small - not only is it large, but many areas, because the enemies have been carefully created and placed, it is not just some random combat where the only goal is to kill for experience and possibly the drop. Many combats result in moving the story along.
This is how RPGs should be made.

I might have rated this one higher, had I picked this game up all those years ago. No, it's not about production value. But the writing quality makes me cringe. Put it side by side with PS:T, and you'll know what I mean. At any rate, credit where credit is due. The segmented story into chapters is also copied in many later releases. Betrayal at Krondor broke new ground in the story department when it first came out. It's strange that a collaboration with well-known fantasy writer couldn't produce better quality writing than amateur effort (i.e. PS:T). |

This game is alright, and fairly well-made for it's time. You could probably download for free, but if you care about it just get the sequal, which I might rate a 7 to 8. |

Great story and combat system, small world and small limits. It's a shame it didn't turn into a series of games. |

There was a time when RPGs where commanded by classic Dungeon & Dragons themes. But one of them managed to set aside and deliver a world that felt both alive and magical, yet old and decadent. It had it all: strong story -politic included-, characters for whom you would really care, a battle system where the ground and strategic position matter, a beatiful and well thought interface, lot of terrain to cover, some of them with an "eerie" feeling, a great musical theme and even mini-games, like the riddles to open chests scattered around the world. Sadly enough, the game suffered of poor sells and hence, never reached the 'mainstream' RPGers. If you can stomach the now updated graphics, give it a try. |

One of my top 3 RPGs. Great story, excellent turn-based strategy. Only Phantasy Star II on the Sega Megadrive and Planescape: Torment can be considered on par with this game. |

Greatest RPG of all time. Truly excellent characterisation, and - for a game - very well written prose. All combined with an impressive and detailed combat system. Could do with a remake with graphical overhaul - that truly would be impressive. |

A breakthrough in CRPGs. The cutscenes are corny though, but the great soundtrack compensates. |

Fantastically fun! One of my fondest memories from childhood was playing this game through a few times. Great spell effects and a gripping storyline. Truly like being immersed in an epic novel. |

Only ranked 8 because of the 1993 technology. This game was way ahead of its' time. One of the first totally open RPGs that included a good combat system. It has both combat and adventure magic. Lots of side quests.
Betrayal at Krondor laid the groundwork for the Might and Magic series and then the Elder Scrolls.
Fun Stuff |

Great Adventure-RPG. Good story and story elements. Very real to the books, one of (if not the) first RPG to use flightsim graphics engine. |
