Looking for a new combat turn based CRPG?
   

Can anyone think of any newer first person CRPGs that deserve to be played? I am partial to turn based/phased combat though. I am currently finishing up Wiz8 and I have t6he Might and Magic series. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I really loved Wiz8, but I do not know about any other game with similar turn based fights (and first person view).

Shame on you, Lintra. He asked for 1st person turn based...

It's been a little thin for us 1st person turn-based fans. Since you've covered Wiz8 and M&M, I'm afraid you're out of recently released choices. Going back a little, you might give "Wizards & Warriors" a spin. I found it to be a bug-fest and eventually gave up on it, but others really had a blast with it. Some of the crash-to-desktop issues I had may have been in my rig, but I think the game had some troubles as well. W&W certainly has a good pedigree- DW Bradley was a key player for SirTech in the Wizardry series, although he went his own way before Wiz8 was developed. That's about your only option as far as major releases, and that game goes back over a year.

If I've overlooked something, someone speak up. I share RNJeffrey's game preference and would love to have something else to tinker with.

Oops my mistake! dteowner is 100% correct.

However, try Dragon Wars. I played this quite some time after it's release and still enjoyed it. A CRPG with a TON of charcter. It is turn based and first person.

Lands of lore 1,2,3
Demise: Rise of the Kutan
Ashgan
(System shock II)
Bards tale 1-3?
Antomorph?
Ultima IX (With very close overhead view possibility) (almost 1.st person)
No one lives forever II
Might & Magic IX (If battlespire is written as recommended so can MMIX)

Hmm most of recommanded are not turn based as far as I know. And I really like turn based fights in RPGs much more and I really like 1st person view...

Dani,

I was not joking before about Dragon Wars. Try it. It is a really good game. Old, but really good.

Jagged Alliance 1,2, Deadly Games, Unfinished Business;
Fallout 1,2,Brotherhood of Steel;
Incubation + Mission Disk

non-rpg
Civilization, Colonization, Panzer General, Fantasy General

I LOVED Fantasy General. I was very upset I could not get it run on my Win 98 system, no matter what I did.

That game kept me going for a good couple of months. I grew very attached to my army.

@Lintra

Fantasy General runs under my Win98. What was your problem ?
The UniVBE driver or the sound ?
