Alundra

Puzzles and brain teasers

A Zelda-style 2D action adventure in which you play the dreamwalker Alundra, entering villagers' nightmares. Tough dungeon puzzles and a surprisingly dark story set it apart.

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Fantasy setting

As the freshly resurrected vampire Kain, you slash through the gloomy top-down land of Nosgoth, collecting spells, weapons and shapeshifting forms. Famed for its gothic atmosphere, richly voiced dramatic storytelling and morally grey tale of vengeance.

Revenant

Fantasy setting

A 1999 action RPG in which you play Locke, a resurrected warrior who fights monsters, collects magic and explores dark catacombs to rescue a warlord's kidnapped daughter. Combat is real-time from an isometric view with manually executed attack combos.

Cralon

Fantasy setting

A classic-style 3D dungeon crawler where you fall into an ancient mine while hunting a demon, then fight creatures, solve puzzles and uncover secrets to find a way out.

Stonekeep

Puzzles and brain teasers

A 90s first-person dungeon RPG with live-action video sequences, where you delve through underground realms, solve puzzles and rescue allies. Melee and magic combat plus a story with some branching choices drive the adventure.

Ultima IX: Ascension

Realistic visuals

The final chapter of the Ultima saga sends the Avatar back to Britannia in a 3D action RPG to stop the Guardian and restore the eight virtues. It is a nostalgic farewell mixing dungeon puzzles and real-time combat, though notorious for its technical problems.

Lord of Mysteries

Fantasy setting

An action RPG based on the popular Chinese web novel, promising a dark, mysterious world of occult secrets and intrigue in a Victorian-inspired setting. Since the game is unreleased, ratings rely on the source material and metadata.
