AntharioN

Sigh. I went in really wanting an old school isometric RPG. The artstyle isn't my favorite, minimal animations and awkward characters all looking directly at the camera, but I dont think it really hurt the game that much. Music is very ambient. Nothing toe tapping. Which isn't bad, but I found myself turning the music off to listen to Spotify more often then not. The minimap doesn't expand, so your map at any...

I finally picked this game up after reading some rather negative, and in hindsight, truly terrible reviews. Many reviewers claimed that there were no quest markers, which is simply not true. Perhaps they could not find the M key on their keyboards because once you press it you get....wait for it.... Quest markers! One review claimed that you had to choose all warriors at start if you hope to survive; I have chosen a...

If you've played Spiderweb Software's Avernum / Exile series, you know what you're getting into here. Standard create-a-four-person party turn-based RPG with a big open world and tons of baddies to kill. Pros: +Solid graphics with a somewhat unique/cute art style +Good interface design +Fun, good-paced, intuitive combat +Minimap, questing, dialogue and crafting features are fleshed out and...

So far the game is realy fun. I'm editing my review as I progress through the game. Pros: * Challenging but easy to play * Really nice looking, nice audio, musics, etc... * You see the equiped stuff on your character * Day/Night cycle that impacts what NPCs do * Quests instructions are given in good the old-school way ("go north of the village, follow the coast to the east,...") instead of marking a spot on a map *...

AntharioN scratches an itch I've had for a looong time: the need for a turn-based, combat-focused dungeon crawler. Roguelikes aside, this is a genre that's been underservered (not at all served?) since the 90s. With the severe emphasis on graphics and (ugh) real-time gameplay, the party dungeon crawler has basically died off. On to AntharioN! Pros > It looks nice-tiles are easy to read, it’s obvious what is an...

I was willing to overlook the absolutely generic game play of this indie game. What I can't overlook, however, is being 11+ hours in and having my saves corrupted for no apparent reason. I see this has happened to other users as well. I can't imagine I've just been lucky all these years and it's never happened before playing any other PC games, until AntharioN. I was willing to trudge through the mundane gameplay to...

Great game so far. Got my party to lvl 7. Played way too long yesterday and that is always a good sign. Items and gold seem just right for now. Always trying to save every gold piece. Leveling up characters is perfect. You have to make hard decisions. Dungeon design seems just right for this type of game. The biggest endorsement that I can give is that I stopped playing Witcher 3 yesterday to play Antharion. ...
