Like on the Groundhog day movie, you know how it will end but you need to keep trying to see if you will get somewhere. You can't stop loving them and they can't stop fooling you, then people say that men aren't the romantics.

I don't think men are that attracted by glamour. I think women are attracted by glamour. I think men are attracted by a sense of friendship. - Joanna Lumley

A tiny, AFAIK unfinished, 2D arena game from early 00s. It has singleplayer Deatch Match and Team modes, some maps to choose from and a map editor to make your own. One amusing feature is that when you lose your head you start rapidly bleeding out but you can save yourself by picking up another head if there's one nearby.

Some keybinds can be checked and changed in the Data\binds.cfg file ("X" is bullet time). There supposedly was a modding community for it at some point but it appears to be gone without trace.

The campaign fares well. We've taken at least half of all cities. Swadia has been relegated to a single castle. I managed to acquire Curaw fairly early, which is one of my favourite cities because it's so central and tends to maintain a strong economy. I accepted Suno just recently because it's handy as we're pressing the Rhodoks hard at the minute

lol, it has the best combat of the series.

The world, level design and atmosphere of 1 is obviously the best, but the combat of 3 is pinnacle.

Found this very early in Diablo 2, so it looks like I'm going the Javelin/Spear path with my Amazon.
Except for Scrolls of ID and TP, I don't buy from the vendors. Seems pointless and needlessly time consuming when there's a hundred different items for sale each day. Diablo 1 did shops much better.

I decided to check if there are any quests available for that PC adaptation of Milton Bradley's HeroQuest by Gerwin Broers (that's a dungeon crawler boardgame, not the Hero Wars/HeroQuest RPG) and apparently there's a lot of interesting ones, including this Heretic quest:

There's even 20-map Hexen quest for four characters:

While at it, I've also found a few Game Maker demos by some Ozzie guy:

The main menu comes with ear-raping loud music, so turn the volume down if you decide to try it out.

It seems more advanced than GB's HeroQuest, with more than one attack option, working spells and smarter AI (like enemies stepping back after attacking to make you waste the movement phase on catching them), but a very big con is not having a quest editor.
A quite fun adaptation of a battle game by the same name. Has one few-battles-long campaign and a scenario editor. The background map is hardcoded, but you can hand-place units and map objects, and it seems like you can define which scenario should come next for both winning and losing (so losing a battle wouldn't mean game over). The AI doesn't plan ahead and has problems with bottlenecks (once it engages a target it will just try to kill it, even if using a movement phase and then attacking would let one more unit attack the target) but in open space it doesn't matter that much.

Not sure how turn order works (sometimes whole enemy army can move a few turns in a row and then you only get to move one soldier), but reading on the board game it appears that players draw some cards defining which unit types can move that turn (which is not represented in-game) so it probably is working as intended.

Another board game adaptation, this time it's Warhammer. Instead of ear-raping music it has eye-burning UI. Choose up to three Space Marine Chapters per mission: each has four marines with different weapons and a commander with a choice of one of three weapon sets, plus own selection of equipment and tactics cards that affect them during missions. Fights tend to be quite lethal for both sides, which gives a big advantage to whomever spots their opponent first. In addition to fighting all sorts of Chaos opponents, there are event cards that you may draw at the start of your turn (ranging from minor inconveniences, through spawning special enemies, to making your rocket launcher marine run out of ammo and lose their weapon).

Comes with one campaign, some missions and a mission editor. The one feature the editor lacks is hand-placing units as opponent positions seem randomized (but you can affect enemy spawns and amount). The map can be put together from a few types of rotatable segments, each with a fixed arrangement of rooms (again, a wasted opportunity to make it more granular by letting you make maps from floor/wall tiles).

EDIT: Space Hulk Deathwing

How does it compare to EYE?

Haven't played EYE in a long time, so take it with a grain of salt.
First - Space Hulk is the real WH40k, not the EYE's almost-Warhammer-but-not-quite
Second - since it's a licensed game, you have far fewer customisation options for your characters - a few perks and some weapon mods.

But the atmosphere is great - Streum On are good artists and it shows.
As with EYE - the game's replayability comes from MP, SP campaign is rather short and nothing to write home about.
Basically it's a decent horde shooter.
