| Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter | Capcom;CE Europe (Capcom) | 2002 | The story and location (the world) are unrelated to earlier BoF games, gameplay also was revised almost completely. Besides using some very recognizable parts of the series (Ryu, Nina, transformation into a "dragon", etc.), the reason for labeling this game under BoF is a marketing mystery. If they had bothered to completely cut ties with BoF, the experimental nature of the game would've likely been received much better instead of being targeted by BoF fans with scorn. The greatest flaw of the game to me is the complete lack of voice overs which is somewhat unusual for games this "new".***[b]difficulty-single[/b] - despite this, every time your whole party dies the game gets easier as current party XP and gained skills are transferred back to the point when you made the save. This can be omitted, though. [b]midas' touch[/b] - Ryu's dash and D-dive abilities. [b]bioroids[/b] - the genics. [b]pigmen[/b] - duke genics [b]minotaurs[/b] - deathcow genics [b]blobs[/b] - the various goo creatures [b]insectoids[/b] - there's a variety, though most commonly you see the ant-like midget humanoids who work in the fairy colony. [b]minigames[/b] - the fairy colony management. It's much more useful and time consuming than it might sound based on it being a minigame. [b]performance issues[/b] - with 3+ enemies and placing one or more magical wards (especially electrical) the camera movement and movement circle appearance becomes stuttery. --- notes for future gar genics (garsniper, garpike) have the head of a seahorse***They live in another time, another place. A labyrinth-like world devoid of all light; where civilization has been forced to live underground for generations. Man has no recollection of how life once was. Yet a Ranger named Ryu is determined to discover the world above and begins an adventure to make his way to the surface. Can he lead his people back to freedom? * For the first time on PlayStation 2 comes a brand new Breath of Fire instalment. * Visually stunning cel-shaded subterranean world settings. * Revolutionary new battle system that allows players to set up traps and decoys before going into battle. * 3-D underground worlds evolve based on your playing style for a different gameplay experience each time. * Encounter countless challenges, battles and adventures in this action-packed RPG adventure. [Box blurb]***EAN-13: [code]5055060921005[/code] Product ID: [code]SLES-51496[/code]***Reach for the Sky It's an epic quest of magical proportions. You live in another time, another place, devoid of all light sources. You are now part of the underground world. Foil your menacing enemies to reach your ultimate mission. Only you can discover the way out of the labyrinth-like dungeon that envelops you and your friends. Escape your underground captors and you'll reach the world of the living. Breath of Fire V is the first of the series to appear on the PS2, and offers visually stunning cel-shaded subterranean worldsettings and an entirely new real-time/ turn-based battle system. Breath of Fire V will keep you impressed for a long, long time!***I've heard almost nothing but bad things about this game, probably because it's quite different from its predecessors, but I quite liked it. The most notable change from previous Breath of Fire titles it the new battle system, which plays more like a strategy RPG similar to Arc the Lad. Also, Dragon Quarter is more like a giant dungeon crawler instead of a traditional Japanese RPG with an overworld to explore. This game is a lot more challenging than its predecessors and if you're upto the challenge, I think you'd find the game quite entertaining (and you can pick it up for dirt cheap online!).

| Demigod | Stardock Entertainment (Gas Powered Games) | 2009 | Although lauded as tactical strategy game, this has less of that than games like Team Fortress 2.***A GOD HAS FALLEN The all father has vanished, creating an opening in the pantheon. To fill the void, Demigods from across from the mortal world must wage war against one another in a bid to ascend to true godhood. Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements. Choose from several Demigods, each poised for battle with their own unique capabilities and awe-inspiring powers. Vanquish other would-be gods as you gain levels, increase in power, unlock the power of mystic artifacts and slowly battle your way closer to joining the Pantheon. Standing in your path are cunning and ferocious opponents that are controlled by either a sophisticated AI system, or by other players via the Internet. Both single- and multiplayer offer a persistent universe where your Demigod uses the spoils of victory to draw closer to ascension, thwart an enemy's attempt at ascension or even acquire powerful items that can be unleashed in the next battle. The combination of awesome gameplay, incredible graphics and pulse-pounding action means that Demigod is infinitely replayable. You'll keep coming back again and again as you valiantly try to reach the Pantheon and bask in the glory of your final ascension.

| Dragon's Crown | Atlus;NIS America (Vanillaware) | 2013 | Has been target of some controversy due to female reviewers (specifically ones that are vocally feminist) not liking the game's depiction of genders, with consumers of those reviews getting angry at them for no good reason, when the game is clearly targeted at adolescent or similarly minded males. Women (reviewers) not liking the game is not unexpected, these same reviewers have no requirement to review them from the perspective of the games' intended audience (unless that's their reviewing gimmick, which probably rarely or never is). In the end, the controversy is mostly from people condemning some reviewers for voicing their opinion on the game just because the reviewers were not in the game's target audience and thus received the game poorly (and gave poor scores for the game as result). | PS3 | labelimageminimize |
| Dragonshard | Atari (Liquid Entertainment) | 2005 | Latest version: 1.2.1 (as of 2006-02?), 1.2.1b for US version***Dragonshard is a real-time strategy experience based in the mystical world of Eberron, the acclaimed new DUNGEONS & DRAGONS realm. Within this wholly imaginative setting lives an inventive gameplay fusion: dramatic RTS play is affected by the risks and rewards of a thrilling RPG-styled underworld. As players direct troops over the land, they also plunge smaller, hero-led parties below ground to an RPG-modeled world of beasts, battles and bounty. Experience and items gained in this underworld result in great powers and abilities above ground. Using magic, weaponry and skilled maneuvers, players command armies from varying races to control, protect - or destroy - the powerful Heart of Siberys. Obtaining this omnipotent artifact will unleash its full forces, good or evil, upon the entire world. "Dragonshard is deliberately designed to do away with such slow-paced genre tropes in favour of spectacular action and a seamless, involving world." PC Gamer * The First DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Real-Time Strategy Experience * The first D&D game from the all-new Eberron campaign setting Groundbreaking game design with two levels of interconnected action: dramatic RTS war above ground and critical RPG-styled battles in dungeons below * Four ranges of controllable units: powerful champions, heroic captains, trainable henchmen, and nearly unstoppable battlefield juggernauts * Unit development based on 'Experience Points', allowing players to "level up" units - an added RPG twist to the classic RTS gameplay structure * An innovative village grid system - the "Nexus System" - where choice and placement of buildings can specifically affect units' powers * Co-op and head-to-head multiplayer modes * Three warring factions (in multiplayer modes), each with its own history, campaigns, unique strengths... and weaknesses. * Game story by Eberron creator Keith Baker * A variety of threatening environments, all with the "Hyper Terrain" feature, creating real-time terrain deformation in the wake of unit movements [Atari] | Windows | labelimagesubject |
| Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements | Taito;Natsume (Natsume) | 1989 | A dark storm veils the sun, twisting trees and sowing terror. Deep in the earth the devil Darces emerges to rule over all. Join in the quest for Tores, the only sword with magic enough to smite Darces the Overlord. Search ancient caves, dank dungeons and mysterious mazes for clues to the age-old prophecy. Receive blessings and cast wondrous spells. Every step brings danger, every town holds a secret. If at last you understand, you can call the elements to your ultimate triumph!***Confusingly, this has nothing to do with Taito's Dungeon Magic in the arcades. This is a text-and-graphics RPG, not a beat-'em-up. | NES | labelimagesubject |

| Eschalon: Book I | My Game Company;Basilisk Games (Basilisk Games) | 2007 | This is a proprietary game. The creator advertises that gameplay is, "the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined ", and it has a "combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies". The difficulty of the game is determined by the development of a character's skills and the adeptness of the player's using them. The story is not linear. Originally only available as a download. Since 2008-01-14, all Eschalon CD packages have the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X versions. Released as Free-to-Play on its 10th year anniversary. Requires a 1.8 GHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and a 3D card.

Hundreds of items and dozens of creatures await your discovery in this classically inspired RPG. * A tile-built, turn-based game world where the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined. Strategy is paramount to success; careful skill management, equipment selection and magic usage will win your fights, not rapid button clicking. We are very pleased to say this is not another "action RPG". * Hundreds of items and dozens of creatures await your discovery. A combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies means that no two games will play the exact same way. * Unlimited character development style: Choose from 24 unique skills to make the character you want and 8 base attributes that affect your character's every action throughout the game. The game world does not scale or adjust itself to match anyone's play style, so the ease or difficulty of the game is directly related to how successful you are at developing your character. * Combat plays out at your pace. Eschalon: Book I features a turn-based system that allows you to roll through combat as fast or slow you want...make it fast and furious, or analyze every option for maximum advantage. * A non-linear storyline means that the game world is open to explore as you desire. Follow the storyline or don't...it's up to you. Just be careful where you go and who you choose to trust- the world of Eschalon can be a deadly place for an inexperienced adventurer. * An epic adventure that you must face alone...a single-player RPG carefully designed to feel like the great old school RPGs of the past such as Ultima , Might & Magic , and Wizardry [?]***[spoiler=Show trailer;Hide...][media=youtube]FqSkCka_Ijg[/media][/spoiler]***The creator advertises that gameplay is, "the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined ", and it has a "combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies".

| Heretic | id Software;GT Interactive (Raven Software) | 1994 | [media=youtube]PvXDik3-XG0[/media]***1999-01-11 source code released under a restrictive license. 2008-09-04 source code was released under GPL compatible license.***A [gametag=doom]Doom[/gametag]-like game with similar premise, demons from some outer realm invade the homeworld of Corvus, our elven hero and "heretic" for standing up against the absolute rule of [i]D'sparil[/i] after years of hiding. As the lone magical warrior to stand against the hordes of the Serpent Rider, you battle your way through monsters, undead, demons and the evil disciples to finally give D'sparil a final beating. Basically Heretic is for anyone who wanted fantasy-themed Doom as it doesn't really offer much more than Doom did, though Heretic started a [url=/groups/info/heretichexen]well-loved series[/url] telling the tales of D'sparil's brothers enslaving other worlds and how their indiviual heroes fought back and defeated the rest of the Serpent Riders. However, if you're just looking for a plain shooter of around the same era, you're better off with Doom.***[b]Episodes:[/b] * City of the Damned * Hell's Maw * The Dome of D'sparil * The Ossuary * The Stagnant Demesne The shareware version only had three episodes compared to the retail release's five, but a later free patch updated the shareware version to have the two additional episodes.***Raven Software teamed up with Id Software for the second time in its creation of the hit fantasy action game Heretic. Based on a modified DooM engine, Heretic pioneered a revolutionary new inventory system for character item use that has become commonplace in the FPS genre. Id Software published the game under its flag and it was distributed by GT Interactive. Players took the role of Corvus, an Elven hero whose race was nearly eliminated by a horde of evil monsters from another dimension. The first episode of Heretic was released as Shareware as a precursor to the full version of the game, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders. Heretic won several awards for excellence, appeared in such notable publications as USA Today and Playboy, and opened many new doors in the computer gaming software industry for Raven Software and its team of developers. Heretic was Raven Software's most popular, highest acclaimed, biggest selling game to that point. [Raven]***More than just another Doom clone, Heretic lets you battle it out as Corvus against the first of the serpent riders. New weapons, the ability to jump and fly, water that moves your char around etc. make this game stand apart from others of it's kind. Along with an inventory system, and the Tomb of Power, which gives all your weapons an added boost, perfect for when you're opponents are just a little better equiped than you. Heretics game-engine is the same as in "Doom" and "Doom 2". Gameplay is very similar with some extra-features and a fantasy-setting. In 1996 GT Interactive re-released the game as "Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders", which features 2 more episodes. | MS-DOS | labelimagesubject |

| Hexen II - Mission Pack: Portal of Praevus | Activision (Raven Software) | 1998 | HeXen II: Portal of Praevus began production in late 1997, following the successful launch of the original game. The team decided to make the expansion much more than a pack of new levels for HeXen II. The goal was to make Portal of Praevus as close to an entirely new game as possible for buyers of the original HeXen II. To do this, the team made two new hubs, 15 new single player levels, three new enemies and added another character class...the Demoness. HeXen II owners could play through Portal of Praevus as the former minion of Eidolon or as any of the original four characters. HeXen II: Portal of Praevus merged seamlessly with the Hexen II world and offered a wealth of new options and opportunities for mayhem in both single player and multiplayer gaming. Hailed as one of the best mission packs ever, HeXen II: Portal of Praevus helped solidify Raven Software's ongoing relationship with Activision Inc, who published the game in 1998. [Raven]***This mission pack for Hexen 2 takes place after the fall fo the last Serpent Rider. A new threat has taken the souls of the three serpent riders and is using their power. This game keeps with the detail of the original, plus adds a fith character class to play, a demoness. If you enjoied Hexen II, I highly reccoment getting this mission pack to continue the fun. | Windows | labelimagesubject |
