    Heroes of the Seven Islands - Hand-drawn tribute to classic RPG and comics

    Eh, it's not like it's a 1:1 copy, and they also used different styles over the years, so I think it's all good.

    Heroes of the Seven Islands - Hand-drawn tribute to classic RPG and comics

    The characters remind me of Dungeon. Which is good.

    Jank game recommendations - Love 'em even though they suck. Weird in the good way, but you never pay full price.

    Age of Barbarian(s) games are super fun once you adjust to the slightly stiff controls. The digitized sprites and clunky English only add to the charm.

    The Video Game Music Thread

    Spellforce 1 has some nice tracks, the problem is how the game plays them: many only play in one tiny area of one map, the tracks keep getting interrupted when the player moves or combat starts and they generally stop playing at night.

    What game did you spend the most time on?

    Gotta be either Diablo 2 or HoMM3. I haven't played either in years, but I know I eventually will again sometime.

    I loved (x) game. Anything similar to it?

    Majesty. It has some RTS and citybuilder aspects, some similarities to Dungeon Keeper, but I think it stands on its own. Other than Majesty 2, which is mostly just a worse Majesty, I can't think of any games that tried to replicate it.

    Incline RPG Codex's Best RPGs - 2024 - VOTE ONLY THREAD

    Top: * Icewind Dale * Fallout * Planescape: Torment * Icewind Dale 2 * Pathfinder: Kingmaker * Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul * Diablo Short list because I’m excluding a whole bunch of RPGs I like, but not so much I'd put them in the absolute favorites category and are not hidden gems...

    KickStarter Baldr's Squid Isekai: A Parody - now available on Early Access

    I think it comes down to: - AI art is the new “thing” both for people with no money or talent to use and for other people to hate, so many are jumpy about it, some to the point of autistic spergouts like the guy on Steam. - It does have some of that super smooth, shiny look to it that a lot...

    GOG.com

    Yeah, I won't defend GoG on their game selection policies, because I don't know wtf they're doing. Refusing good indies while flooding the store with tons of low effort garbage hentai games. Is the porn game market really so profitable? And on GoG of all places? I doubt it. Steam's approach has...

    RTS should focus more on single-player campaigns, lore-heavy settings

    I wish I still had it somewhere, but I remember reading an analysis of Diablo 2 SP vs MP specifically, and the conclusion was that comparing D2 sales vs how many people played MP on Battlenet was that only a small fraction bought the game to play in MP. Granted, it was written from the...

    Incline Best Video Game Intro

    Most of the good ones are already posted, so I'll just add: Now, a lot of the visuals are very :prosper:, and yes, it's just music over random fantasy scenes happening, but the music is very good and they fit it nicely with introducing the factions.

    What was your first video game? (Or the first ones per major generation)

    Sorcery was very good, and one of the few games I finished on Amstrad. I know it's Who Dares Wins II, but apparently there was no Who Dares Wins I, I just called it Who Dares Wins :lol: https://cpcrulez.fr/GamesTest/who_dares_wins_2.htm?t=Uw==

    What was your first video game? (Or the first ones per major generation)

    The first game I played on Amstrad was Cauldron (I had the German version - Hexenküche). Cool game. Impossibly hard, but fun to fly around and go into different dungeon levels. On the same day I played Boulder Dash, Jet Set Willy and a few other games. First console game was probably Contra on...

    Lost and forgotten (except by us)

    Oh, I played the demo of this. I don't remember anything about it, other that it had ground and underground layers like Armies of Exigo.
