| Fallout | Interplay (Black Isle Studios) | 1997 | A great post-apocalyptic RPG, with good atmosphere and great feeling about scarceness of resources. Sadly, is too short, but with an incredibly good story and even alternative endings.*** [53]***Set in the aftermath of a worldwide nuclear war, FALLOUT will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside to a strange world 80 years after the end of the modern civilization. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence. Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip. Without that chip, your fellow Vault dwellers are doomed to dehydration or are forced to leave the safety of the Vault for the Outside.***2009-08-19 on Steam, by Interplay (lang: eng, fre, spa, ger)***Latest version: 1.2 (as of ?)

| Fallout 2 | Interplay (Black Isle Studios) | 1998 | Improves everything in the first game, especially exploration. The only thing to blame is a kind of fixed ending in comparition with the first game, and an antagonist not so interesting as The Master. 9 de 10***In this postnuclear role-playing game, you are the Chosen One, the direct descendant of the Vault Dweller. The village elders have selected you to wear the sacred Vault-suit of your grandsire and, in time, to ascend to the leadership of your people. First you must prove your devotion to your people. Your tribe needs help. If you are truly the Chosen One, then you alone are capable of claiming the heritage of the Vault Dweller to take back your birthright. Your tribe has survived over 10 years of drought, but now their reserves are at an end. You must find Vault 13 and claim the technology that your tribe needs to survive. If you fail in this quest, your tribe will surely die. You must travel the perilous Wastes on a holy quest to find Vault 13--the same Vault that cruelly cast your grandsire out into the Wastes 80 years ago. The Vault owes you. The Vault owes your tribe. Now it is time to collect.***2009-08-19 on Steam, by Interplay (lang: eng, fre, ger)***[b]censored[/b] - at least UK and German releases had the children removed.***It's a CRPG set in a Post Apocalyptic world.

The village elders have selected you to wear the sacred Vault-suit and, in time, to ascend to the leadership of your people.

| Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura | Sierra On-Line (Troika Games) | 2001 | System Requirements Windows 95/98/2000/ME Minimum Single Player System Requirements Pentium II 300, 64MB RAM 1.2 GB Free disk space 4X CD-ROM DirectX compatible 8MB video card Windows compatible sound card Minimum Multiplayer System Requirements 33.6 Kbps Modem Up to 8 Players TCP/IP Network (Requires low-latency internet connection with support for 32-bit applications) Optional 3D Acceleration Direct3D compatible video card with 8MB RAM***Imagine a place of wonder, where magic and technology hold equal sway, and an adventurer might just as easily wield a flintlock pistol as a flaming sword. A place where great industrial cities house castle keeps and factories, home to Dwarves, Humans, Orcs and Elves alike. A place of ancient runes and steamworks, of magic and machines, of sorcery and science. [b]Welcome to the Land of Arcanum[/b] Arcanum is the first game to come from the development house Troika Games, LLC, started by former Fallout team members Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, and Jason Anderson. This team takes the depth of gameplay and world-building in role-playing games to entirely new levels of realism and excitement. Arcanum creates a compelling new world where magic and technology coexist in an uneasy balance. As Arcanum opens, the mechanical age has only recently arrived in this ancient land where Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and other races have learned to survive in the new sprawling industrialized cities. But this radical shift from magic to technology has created a potentially explosive situation. As the townspeople and other thinkers begin mass production of light bulbs, batteries, eyeglasses and guns, the Mages grow leery. This tightly wound setting is the starting point from which the character must set out on his quest. [b]Features[/b] - Classless, point-based attribute system allows for limitless creativity in guiding your character's development. - Complex stat system underlies every event taking place within Arcanum. - Customize your character, including 8 basic stats (Strength and Charisma), more than a dozen derived stats (Poison Resistance and Character Speed), 16 primary skills (Gambling and Healing), 80 spells within 16 colleges, and 56 technological degrees within 8 disciplines. - Automatic character management features let you delve into the quest at hand for action-oriented players. - Explore a huge game environment, with dozens of cities, dungeons, and towns to find. - Meet more than 300 unique characters and 280 different monster types across the land of Arcanum. - Multiple paths to victory abound in the scores of quests surrounding the main storyline. - Accurate day/night cycles affect the gameplay, from combat to thieving skills. - Take on a band of ogres in real-time, or plan your strategy through a turn-based system of combat - you choose. - Take the adventure online cooperatively or competitively over the Internet or LAN.*** [100]*** [12]***Latest version: 1.0.7.4 (as of 2001) Many bugs and other issues however remain even with it applied so the community has made several unofficial patches that try to fix them. | labelimagesubject |

It also makes you wonder what strike of genius did the Mook have when they decided You were good choice as bodyguards.***A New Wizardry for a New Generation Wizardry 8 raises the standard for fantasy role-playing with a vengeance.

Kindly or chaotic, burly or surly - how your characters act is up to you. * Talk to dozens of intelligent characters.

[Box blurb]***Wizardry 8 is an epic fantasy RPG that picks up where [[gameid:42564 Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant]] left off. You may recall that all hell had broken loose at the end of Wizardry 7. The Dark Savant had taken flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed. [Sir-Tech] | labelimagesubject |
| Sword of the Stars: The Pit | Kerberos Productions | 2013 | Un juego a medio camino entre el rol por turnos complejo, con habilidades y atributos, y los juegos tipo rogue. Su único fallo es que algunos pisos son bastante monótonos de explorar, y su mayor acierto la diferente forma de juego que ofrecen las 3 clases iniciales. Además su gran aleatoriedad en el crafteo, implantes, consumibles y trampas de puerta otorgan variedad y riesgo de manera muy adecuada. Y el rango de visión, que no permite ver detrás de tu espalda, convierte la exploración en algo más táctico que abrir puertas al azar. 7 de 10***A deadly plague ravages your world. Your last hope: a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains...a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka. If 'The Pit' really exists, there might be something left. Something that will give your doctors a fighting chance at the cure. All you know for sure is that every expedition into those mountains has failed to return... And nothing sows death like the Suul'ka. [b]Sword of the Stars: The Pit[/b] is a fun, fast, light-hearted action RPG, in the tradition of Rogue and other old school dungeon-diving games. The game will include the following features on release: * 3 Characters to choose from...Marine, Pilot and Engineer! * Go up levels and improve your skills as you try and find a way to survive the depths. * 30 Levels of ancient evil science between you and the cure! * Dozens of enemies drawn from the SotSverse! * Over 30 weapons and armors with a variety of special effects including flamethrowers, rocket launchers, plasma cannons and powered Brawler armor! * Randomized augmentation effects to make each game unique * Crafting lets you make special items from bits and pieces of your enemies. * Over 60 items to discover, ranging from the familiar to the ancient exotic tech. * Dozens of room types containing a host of exotic devices to help and hinder the player * Many fiendish ways to die including poisoning, disease, traps, radiation, starvation and of course...MONSTERS. | labelimagesubject |
