I am a rpg addict, i like to own all the rpgs here but i wonder if you want to buy only 1 of them first wich one would you choose? I never have played battlespire and never tried dungeon hack so wich of the two you reckomanned?
They're fairly different approaches to dungeon crawling. Are you more into tile-based exploration, or free, FPS-ish movement? Do you want a fixed world with defined objectives and narratives (albeit weak ones), or an unending supply of randomly generated dungeons with no real reason to explore them except that they're there?

Battlespire would get you Arena and Daggerfall (which can be obtained for free anyway, but this way GOG do all the heavy lifting of setting them up properly), while Dungeon Hack would get you Menzoberranzan, which... actually plays a little bit like Battlespire, IIRC.

Or you could get the free Daggerfall, see if you fancy a game that plays like that with all the overworld stripped out and condensed to a vaguely Doom-like series of combat encounters, and if so buy Battlespire.
Battlespire is in full 3D, Dungeon Hack is tile-based.

Battlespire has hand-made dungeons. Dungeon Hack has randomly generated dungeons.

Battlespire has more elaborated system of character creation and progress. Dungeon Hack is more simplistic in this aspect.

Battlespire is more open about its game systems, than Dungeon Hack, where you can't even reliably identify items unless you play as mage.
Wait we have Dungeon Hack!?

Actually, Bards start with Improved Identify (and can therefore reliably identify items), but triple class Mages do not (and therefore have to be lucky enough for the spell to spawn).

Alternatively, you can identify items roguelike style, by experimenting to see what the item does (and paying attention to the messages that appear when you drink potions).
uhm maybe dungeon hack is a better choice then, Menzoberranzan nice the city of the drow :) is that game any good?

i would go for DH just for the random dungeons. Menzoberranzan got mixed reviews. most fans of the previous goldboxy games thought it was underwhelming.

I have bought dh and i have to say its very addicting and fun game, im playing a half elf fighter mage and having a great time the spirital hammer is very handy.
