This epic sequel will immerse you in a world of intrigue, adventure and fierce combat where your ability to discern the difference between these sides - with the assistance of steel and spell - determines your fate.

Now, in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn?, the stakes have become much higher. Will you resist the evil within you, and forge a legend of heroic proportions? Or will you embrace your monstrous inner nature, and carve a swath of destruction across the Realms?

Your story begins anew in the exotic southern kingdom of Amn, amidst the opulence of the sinister capital city of Athkatla. Journey through the fierce, unforgiving wilderness of Amn, and through the treacherous caverns of the Underdark, in your quest for artifacts of awesome power and treasure of inestimable wealth.. even challenge dragons, if you dare. Such is the life of a legend.'

Terraria Re-Logic;Headup Games (Re-Logic)2011An open sandbox metroidvania with some crafting and base building, calling it "a 2D Minecraft" is an oversimplification of its formula, way more focused in rapid action and platforming.

Pros:
-Great atmosphere and music.
-Amazing sense of wonder.
-Challenging events and biomes.
-Variety of NPCs and enemies.
-Subtle cross-referenced easter eggs that actually improve the game and don't seem forced.
-Big depths with many cave systems.
-2D side scroll eases exploration, making it less confusing.
-Incredibly well done crafting tree and progress system.
-Bosses.
-Player and map are interdependent (you can play as much worlds as you wish with the same character)

Cons:
-Addictive as hello without o.

Towns SMP2012Developer Xavi Canal of SMP deemed the game complete and released it on Steam in 2012. Many fans considered the game incomplete. At the same time he turned maintenance development over to Moebius who planned to fix bugs and add features. Ben Palgi continued to do some maintenance with Moebius. Moebius was offered a profit percentage equating to much less than his usual salary for his work, but a 66% drop in sales lead to this percentage being a less than livable wage so development ceased. Open sourcing the game to achieve bug fixes and added features was discussed but rejected. Currently there are no plans for further development of Towns. A sequel with a better planned development model has been suggested and not dismissed. There was also another developer, SphaZ. SphaZ left the team early in the development but remains an avid player and fan of Towns. Linuxlabelimageminimize
Towns SMP2012Towns brings a fresh new take on the citybuilding/management genre by introducing many RPG features.

Drawing inspiration from games such as Diablo, Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress, the game has you managing a settlement on top of an active dungeon. Instead of playing the hero who delves deep into the dungeon, how about playing the town that houses and caters to the hero's needs?

Both the RPG and strategic aspects will be fleshed out over a series of sprawling dungeons.

Craft unique weapons, obtain randomized loot and build a settlement capable of holding back the forces that come up from the depths!

Underrail  Stygian Software 2015[b]Summary[/b]
Underrail is an old school turn-based isometric indie role playing game that focuses on exploration and combat. It's inspired by western RPG classics such as Fallout, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights and System Shock 2.

[b]Story[/b]
The game is set in a distant future, when the life on the Earth’s surface has long since been made impossible and the remnants of humanity now dwell in the Underrail, a vast system of metro station-states that, it seems, are the last bastions of a fading race.
The player takes control of one of the denizens of such a station-state whose life is about to become all that much more interesting and dangerous, as our protagonist is caught midst the conflicting factions of the Underrail as the violently struggle to survive in the harsh underground environment.

[b]Features[/b]
* Great character customization possibilities through stats, skills, feats, items and more that allows for many different play-styles
* Tactical turn based combat that utilizes weapons, energy shields, grenades, psi abilities and more
* Vast underground world to explore: city states, abandoned building complexes, natural caverns, secret areas and more
* Elaborate item crafting system
