    Game News Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord remake now available on Early Access

    Five Ordeals is great value, especially with all the free campaigns available. I even liked Labyrinth of Lost Souls. Even though that one is definitely a more casual experience (you keep stats after class changes). Also more anime. Grimoire and Elminage are obviously the best around and can be...

    Wizardry Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord remake by Digital Eclipse - now available on Early Access - coming May 23rd

    Skimming through the thread quickly lead me from moderate excitement to despair. So the usual :dealwithit: But having recently played Etrian Odyssey for the first time, I can't understand why no one tries to copy the mapping system. It so easy to implement and increases the enjoyment by...

    Why the fuck is Witcher 3 #15 on the Codex top 101?

    It is not even an RPG. It is an action adventure like Zelda. Just less original (The Switcher is just Elric) an with more decline (bat senses and quest arrows).

    Gold Box Gold Box & other SSI D&D classics released on Steam & GOG

    I think mentioning GBC is fair, since it is included in the steam version and you were mentioning the QoL issues. So if anyone tries the game nowadays they are solved. Also were they that bad in the first place? The only big issue i remember was having to manually reset all the spells which each...

    Gold Box Gold Box & other SSI D&D classics released on Steam & GOG

    I think Pool of Radiance is a phenomenal starting point. And it does something much more important than the QoL features (which you can get with the goldbox companion anyway) it has a tight, well defined setting. You are a group of low level adventurers just hired to murder hobo around the...

    Incline OFFICIAL "STONES OF ARNHEM" DEVELOPMENT THREAD

    Great news! Since I haven't been keeping up on the codex, will Stones of Arnhem be the next game? What happened to the Lovecraftian Horror Blobber and the Armageddon Empires inspired one? Will they be put on the back burner? Or did you ditch them completely, Cleve?

    Grand Strategy Best space 4X

    Have to agree that some of the best games are missing from the list. Space Empires IV, Stars! and Aurora definitely all should be on the list. SMAC, Gladius, SC2 or Sins not necessarily despite their merit. But from the games listed Ascendancy has a special place I'm my heart. It does so many...

    What is the most UNDERrated RPG on the codex?

    I can understand. Bit for me legality was never the point in mm. That is more of a thing in wizardry. MM was always about exploration for me. And I never really jelled with the switch to real time. The series lost something when it abandoned grid movement

    What is the most UNDERrated RPG on the codex?

    Third for might and magic X Still don't get why none no one liked it. For me it captured a lot of the feeling of mm3-5, even with all the constraints (being a modern ubishit game in unity). Can't think of another game that had this classic crpg feeling. Aside from Grimoire of course! Also I...

    Describe a game in such a way that it's impossible to guess what it actually is. Others guess.

    Also, off topic, why did all my alerts disappear? Only got Rick roll now. Some punishment for being inactive?

    Tips for a neophyte who wants to play Pool of Radiance

    only thing to add is don't be a retard like me and keep "search" toggled all the time. it will bump up the encounter rate to every other turn.

    Might and Magic Might & Magic X - Legacy

    Nice of you to correct your statement. Too many people keep insisting that the game is linear even though it only proves that they never made it to Karthal. Or haven't played the old games, which also used tough encounters to structure exploration. Even the metroidvania aspect was present with...

    What is the general opinion over here when it comes to puzzles in RPGs?

    I'd say those are exactly the wrong examples. EoB and Grimrock both suffer from terrible gamey (as well as from incredibly lazy and unimaginative designed) puzzles. Good examples would be Arx Fatalis and UUW for puzzles which feel natural because they are environmental problems you solve (like...
