This is one of my favorite PS2 era games, and it sparked my joy for the ARPG genre. I have so many fond memories of playing it during the summers of my childhood.
A purposefully limited ARPG that hits all the right notes of dungeon crawling while being endlessly repeatedable.
I've personally enjoyed this game enough to mod and edit hex code for the items as well as recreate 3D character models.
A classic in the same vein as the Dark Alliance games. With those getting recent PC ports, and having used the same engine, this game would make an excellent addition to PC.
I played this one before playing Champions of Norrath, confused at first at the mention of events and characters I had never even heard about before I still managed to finish this one despite my frustration with its many enemies that hit like a truck and seem to be positioned in places really far away from any checkpoints/save points. At one point I even decided to restart the game using a brand new class and focusing on leveling up another attributes. It was still difficult, but with that decision I ended up reaching and going beyond the part where I had stopped playing before until completing the game at least 3 times. I've been replaying both this game and its prequel on a PS2 emulator as of recently and even then I would like to own a copy if it ever gets brought to GOG.
A memorable PS2 game.
It's very cool that at the start of the game the player is given the option of whether they want to choose the path of good or evil.
It has a character creator, multiplayer mode, lots of items and equipment and customization options.
I'd like to see this game on GOG, as I'd like to be able to play it without having to rely on the console or an emulator. I'd like to see several of its bugs fixed, as some of them can compromise progression in the game. And on this store, I know that could be possible.
Like the first one, Champions of Norrath, these are some of my favorite fantasy games that I'd love to see remastered or remade. But I would take both of them in any form. As these are games I go back to again and again and I would love to have version where I don't have to worry about the disc eventually becoming unplayable.
Underrated in my opinion. Something about after defeating an enemy and it drop boots, a weapon or armor and you have no idea what it might be. Could it be a new piece of equipment that beats your current one? You never know. It just seems like there is a never ending supply of different items in this game and the surprise of what you might get is exciting.
I Love GOG and your work, help me and community to save this game.
Please only together we can make changes in this Geek World we are Making together, thank you GOG, i love you.
