Allods Online	Nival Online;Gala Networks Europe (Astrum Nival)	2009	Personally I hate the fact that parties are only formed for mobs that require about 10 or so people to work together ("raid") to defeat. Besides that, parties don't seem to be formed and everyone is soloing. If parties were formed more readily (and actually needed by more than the support classes, such as the healer), I might consider this a good game, but woe, it does not. There's a high variety in the available classes, but the annoyingly non-existant need to work together like in some other MMOs just makes this a very boring single-player experience. Of course, I don't know about high level stuff since leveling up there on solo takes a looong time. Fact which has escaped me for quite some time, since partying would speed this up, but no-one wants to form parties.*Open beta starts on 2010-02-16.2009-10-01 Open Beta starts in Russia*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000 or XP * 1.5 GHz Pentium III CPU * 512 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * GeForce FX 5200 or Radeon 9600 GPU * 800x600 display * 4 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7600 or Radeon X1600 GPU * 1024x768 display	Windows
Arx – End Of Sun	Neurological	TBA		Linux
Arx Fatalis	DreamCatcher Interactive (Arkane studios;Wizarbox)	2003	Arx is the name of an underground urban environment where your special experience will begin, in the realm of medieval fantasy. Be prepared to penetrate a world where the sun has slowly retreated and completely vanished. A world taken over by an unfriendly and threatening atmosphere, imposing the exodus of Arx inhabitants to the obscure meanders of a dwarf mine in order to survive. There, they had to become acquainted with an unusual neighborhood, among goblins, trolls and ratmen.* [100]* [12]*** [32]	Xbox
Arx Fatalis	JoWood Productions (Arkane Studios)	2002	Cast away from the surface of the Earth by the disappearance of the sun, Mankind lived hidden underground in the Fortress of Arx. Humans only have magic left to survive against Ratmen, Dragons and starvation... But a much greater danger is hovering above the world of Arx Fatalis. Lurking in the eternal darkness of the mines, it feeds off the innocent souls of the city. It is not a monster. It is not human. It is pure evil. The adventure has just started, and soon, the fate of Arx, will be in your hands. Arx Fatalis is a medieval heroic fantasy first person role playing game which places the accent on immersion, storyline and innovative magic system. Arx Fatalis is intended for RPG and adventure players. Dive into the universe of Arx Arx Fatalis is an RPG that thrusts the player into an extremely complex fantastic world. Arx Fatalis combines a rich storyline with impressive medieval settings. The easy to use interface results in maximum interaction. The player is in an intense immersion state where he can feel how each one of his actions affects the surrounding world. The goal of the game is to reduce to nothing the cult of Akbaa, God of destruction and Chaos, and thus, prevent him from returning to the physical world. If the player fails, the demon will crush Arx under its rule of blood and terror. The player, assuming the role of potential hero, fights in a large underground fortress, with wood clubs, swords, lances. and many magic artifacts, against the threat of multiple underground creatures (Goblins, Trolls, Ratmen and other vicious creatures.) But rough power is not always the best road to victory. The hero may also use the new "screen magic" to advance. By using the mouse, magic runes have to be drawn and combined on screen in order to create powerful spells that will protect the player or give him the strength to defeat his enemies and to complete his quest. In addition to the fight against demons and monsters, there is also a practically infinite number of interactions with the creatures and objects in the fortress, which enable the player to regain his memory, solve enigmas, and fulfill quests. By accumulating experience points, the player is able to lead his hero and train him any way he wants. Dare to enter the world of Arx Fatalis. Explore the underground cities, secret temples, ancient mine tunnels, discover forgotten civilizations and dominate the magic of Arx Fatalis...*The game may suffer from severe [i]flickering[/i] and depth buffer issues under some circumstances. The actual cause is unknown as it fixed itself and I failed to reproduce it. Bumb mapping used by the game is one of the earliest methods and causes some graphical glitching on at least NV's GPUs (buttons and doorways otherwise revealed by sufficiently high intuition are colored almost pitch black). Therefore it is recommended you disable it. Forcing anti-aliasing causes some text to disappear, the game itself has no anti-aliasing options so this is only reminder not to do it in externally.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP * 500 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 750 MB HD space * 4X CD-ROM drive [b]Recommended:[/b] * 900 MHz Pentium III CPU * 256 MB RAM * 32 MB VRAM**Latest version: 1.21 (2011-01-14) Version history: 1.18 (2007-10?)

Arx Libertatis	? (Arkane Studios;Zenimax;Arx Libertatis)	2011	The name is Latin and loosely means "Fatal Castle" and very literally means "The Castle of Fatal" Likewise, Arx Libertatis means "The Castle of Liberty"*Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform port of the GPLed Arx Fatalis first-person role-playing game. This package only includes the game executable - you will also need the data files from the original game. Besides the data files, this is all that is needed to run the game, but installing the main arx-libertatis package to get the arxcrashreporter is recommended.*[spoiler=Show install;close][media=youtube]RHN01tlPpjo[/media][/spoiler]	Linux

Legend of Grimrock	Almost Human Games	2012	Simplemente la mejor conversión al videojuego del misterio, emoción y claustrofobia mental que transmite un juego de rol de exploración de mazmorras. Además de destaca por su único sistema de juego, que mezcla un manejo casi de aventura gráfica con un combate a semitiempo real y una creación de personajes muy RPG y variada. Y especialmente notable por su efecto "sólo una escalera/puerta más", haciendo volar el tiempo con facilidad. Eso sí, lo del modo Old School ya es para nostálgicos masocas XD 9 de 10.**What is Legend of Grimrock? Old-school dungeon crawling game inspired by Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld. * Explore a vast dungeon riddled with hidden switches, pressure plates, sliding walls, trapdoors and more. * Discover secrets, cast spells with runes and craft potions with herbs. * Fight murderous monsters and seek lost artifacts in ancient tombs. * Create a party of four characters and customize them with different races, classes, skills and traits. Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an oldschool heart but a modern execution. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exiling them to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to their captivators, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations long perished now. If they ever wish to see daylight again and reclaim their freedom the ragtag group of prisoners must form a team and descend through the mountain, level by level. The game brings back the oldschool challenge with highly tactical real-time combat and grid-based movement, devious hidden switches and secrets as well as deadly traps and horrible monsters. Legend of Grimrock puts an emphasis on puzzles and exploration and the wits and perception of the player are more important tools than even the sharpest of swords could be. And if you are a hardened dungeon crawling veteran and you crave an extra challenge, you can arm yourself with a stack of grid paper and turn on the Oldschool Mode which disables the luxury of the automap! Are you ready to venture forth and unravel the mysteries of Mount Grimrock?	Windows

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss	Origin (Blue Sky Productions)	1992	Historical note: This game was the first, first person 3D game (it preceded Wolfenstein 3D by two months). Also the engine is much more advanced than the Wolfenstein 3D engine was. Not just in the RPG elements but the 3D environment, dynamic lighting, curved surfaces, real bridges and tunnels, texture resolution and variation, and vertical variation in the terrain. However, the system requirements of UW are higher than Wolf 3D. [Zerothis]	MS-DOS
