My favorite game from 2003
I actually didn't play Etherlords II until well after it released. I think I found it looking around for solid PC card games. Etherlords II is an open world-ish RPG, but instead of combat taking using the powers and weapons of party members, it takes place using a deck of cards you've constructed. There are a variety of different "races" in the game, and each race has its own campaign. Each race has access to different cards, although there may be a small amount of overlap (I can't recall). If a battle is lost, it can immediately be tried again, and certain battles require specific strategies to prevail. Although the final boss of the game is absurd, I became very engaged in learning what type of decks were wielded by various enemies, and how I could most effectively combat them. Etherlords II, in a way, reminds me of a single-player Magic the Gathering. Luckily it's not as expensive as Magic.
Is this helpful to you?
