Looking for modern CRPGs with old school retro feel. WESTERN STYLE ONLY.

A Legionary's Life is not exactly a retro-style game, but it's an excellent historical RPG with some hints to classics like Sword of the Samurai, so check it out.

Legends of Amberland is a cute little blobber similar to World of Xeen, not a perfect game but it deserves more love. And I've not played it, but Swords and Sorcery: Underground seems to be a fine Might and Magic I clone.

Battle for Esturia is fine but a little too close to the JRPG genre, so if you don't like that kind of games beware.

I intended to make a western RPG, but I really like classic JRPGs as well, so I did take some influence from those games. Is it possible that I've been corrupted? Will my next game be linear and full of random encounters? Will I force you to do hours of aimless grinding? I shudder at the thought.
No way, man! With this game mechanics as a basis, future sequels could lead to some serious incline material if they are given the right amount of depth.

Thanks for the kind words. I was mostly joking. I'm actually planning on two expansions. The first will be a roguelike and the second will be another hand crafted adventure.

I know you were just joking, I like to state how much I like it.
