  • A party of several characters
  • Lots to discover
  • Tactical depth

An immensely deep simulation where you build and manage a dwarven fortress or roam a procedurally generated, persistent world as an adventurer. Its interlocking systems produce chaotic, memorable stories, though the learning curve is notoriously steep.

Odd Realm

A party of several characters

A pixel-art colony simulation in a procedurally generated fantasy world where you guide settlers to build, explore and survive threats. Reminiscent of Dwarf Fortress but more approachable, with a quirky sense of humor.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

A party of several characters

A classic isometric CRPG set in the Forgotten Realms: you lead a party across the Sword Coast, fighting in real time with pause under old-school D&D rules, through a sprawling tale of betrayal and divine heritage. The Enhanced Edition adds new companions and an extra adventure.

Pillars of Eternity

A party of several characters

A love letter to Infinity Engine classics, offering tactical real-time-with-pause party combat, a richly written world built around souls and reincarnation, and a mature, melancholic story. Companions, a stronghold to manage, and meaningful choices make it a deep treat for CRPG fans.

Airborne Empire

Pure single-player experience

You build and manage a floating city in the sky while exploring a large open world full of dangers and hidden treasures. You also defend your citizens and the kingdoms below from attacks.

SpellForce: The Order of Dawn

A party of several characters

SpellForce blends real-time strategy with RPG elements: you grow a custom hero and companions while also building bases and commanding armies in a dark fantasy world.

SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars

A party of several characters

A fantasy blend of real-time strategy and RPG where you lead an Avatar and a band of heroes through an epic story while also commanding armies. Shadow Wars continues the struggle against the Dark Elves and the Shadows.

Geneforge 2

A party of several characters

A classic indie RPG from Spiderweb Software in which you play a shaper who creates your own mutant creatures and must pick a side in a world of faction conflict. Your decisions noticeably shape how the story plays out.
