    Broken Roads - turn-based Australian post-apocalyptic RPG with "unique morality system"

    the main thing the Bioware NWN had going for it imo was the extremely moody atmosphere and the gorgeous soundtrack. I honestly can't think of any other RPG with a similarly dark atmosphere, with its plague ridden city, flammable piles of corpses, the human cries and begging that seem to fill the...

    Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

    and this is EXACTLY THE REASON why every fucking Codexer should have voted 1/5 ! BG3 is a product of its time. you want tactical turn based RPGs? there are tons and tons to choose from! the only standout features of BG3 are the graphics-whore cutscenes and the furfag & gay content. this game is...

    Recommend a turn based, isometric/overhead, full party RPG for me

    it's got perfectly implemented D&D combat, varied dungeons, full party creation PLUS recruitable NPCs depending on alignment and is gameplay-wise pretty much a modernized equivalent to Pool of Radiance, minus the need to refer to goldbox companion for dialogue, quest logs and access to a map at...

    Any party-based real-time hack&slash game like Hexplore?

    can't properly remember the game but Ember might be of interest. as far as I can remember the combat was hack & slash, but pausable. story was sort of old school Bioware-ish. wasn't too deep or difficult, but it was fun.

    you could upload them to archive.org many "lost and forgotten" games are hosted there, like Aleshar.

    Vapourware A New Top 101 Poll

    but it is - you guys think Disco Elysium is an amazing game, plus the devs identify it as a RPG. so you want it on the "best RPGs of all time" list, without questioning if it even belongs here. but that's not what RPG Codex is for. RPG Codex is (or was) a supposedly grognard forum, not one of...

    Vapourware A New Top 101 Poll

    which game are you referring to? Disco Elysium? like I've said, I've completed it 6 times, not even counting my "speedrun". Dark Souls? played each one for hundreds of hours, done multiple SL1 playthroughs. doesn't sound like I don't like them, does it? they're not RPGs though. why? read my...

    Vapourware A New Top 101 Poll

    just because you like a game, it doesn't make said game a RPG. hell, I've played through Disco Elysium 6 times and I don't consider it a RPG - much less after "speedrunning" it last time, which really showed the core gameplay. I had to level up a total of two times to get through the game. you...

    Anachronox - what's the appeal?

    so I went into this game blind, only knowing it's made by some of the Deus Ex devs and that it's similar to Star Wars: KotOR and the first Mass Effect (read that multiple times) but with supposedly awful JRPG-combat. given the age of Anachronox I assumed that it was a more complex game than...

    What's on your 2024 must play list?

    I only have it on CD and gog, so no idea if the steam version is shit. but the game is absolutely awesome. top 10 goat rpgs if you ask me. tbh it's a "worse" game than Ultima Underworld considering the level design and overall liveliness, NPCs are much more static and there are no dynamic...

    Riven remake

    didn't you like Obduction? :eek: I felt like it wasn't on the same level as Myst or Riven, but it kept me well entertained for the duration of 2 playthroughs over the years. on the other hand there are the countless Myst remakes that I haven't touched since the first one. I've played the...

    Riven remake

    ugh. Riven hasn't aged nearly enough for a remake to be necessary. imo people who might have trouble with the navigation and play style of the original or lack the patience to overcome their difficulty are not the target audience anyway. Cyan should rather work on something new instead of...
