Swords and Sorcery - Underworld - Definitive Edition

OK - I made it through about 1/3 of this game and really wanted to like it. However I just got bored. Its clearly a homage to the Might and Magic Series (similar ideas to World of Xeen) however you are better off just playing that series rather than this game. There is no animation, no voice, very few NPCs - the world is pretty bland and lifeless. I understand that its the product of a small shop however it didn't...

Six man party hex-based movement with turn-based combat dungeon crawler. There are not many games around in this genre, so I take what it's there. And this one is a decent one, it may not have animated monsters but arts are really nice. And Swords and Sorcery - Underworld is complex enough to keep me entertained. Bugs free also.

Meh. I love games like Might & Magic, and Wizardry. I loved the Gold Box series back in the day. There isn't much to love in this game. Its like a bad remake of Might & Magic I, but with slower progression, less variety, and less appealing grinding. I really wanted to like this game... but I don't.

If you played and liked the old Might and Magic or Wizardry games get this game. I played this game before it came to Steam. This is an old school grid based RPG with an improved interface. I still enjoy the style of these type of RPG but was unable to go back and enjoy the originals because of the clunky interface. This game with an easy interface is exactly what I wanted, I really enjoyed it and am looking forward...

I played Bards Tale in 1985. Lovely game. 99 Barbarians. Only being able to save in the Adventures Guild. The eerie music from the temples. Brian The Fist. El Cid. A bard that needs to take a swig of his wineskin before playing some musical tunes. Four mage classes. A mad monk that fights with only his hands and feet. I could go on. A masterpiece. Played it again for 60 hours a few years ago when the original...

(Follow my curator for more reviews like this) This is a solid first person party-based dungeon crawler (also referred to as blobber) with a slightly wonky interface and aesthetics, but great gameplay. It took me 14 hours to finish the game, so it's a little on the shorter side. If you want to compare it to oldschool blobbers, the most comparable game would be Might and Magic 1-5. Movement is step-based, combat is...

*Fantastic* old-school dungeon crawler/CRPG. Loads of interesting things to see and discover, and great combat to level up, find hidden loot and explore more secrets. A+!
