Brings what grabs you about The Summoning: a fantasy setting, lots to discover and a pure single-player experience.

A retro first-person dungeon crawler in the vein of Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder, with 100 handcrafted levels of puzzles, traps and combat that suit short play sessions.

Light Crusader

Action-packed real-time combat

A 1990s action adventure where you play a swordsman delving through a monster-filled dungeon, fighting in real time and solving tricky 3D puzzles to rescue vanished people. It blends arcade-style combat with puzzle-driven dungeon exploration.

Conan

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You play as the barbarian Conan, exploring five sprawling regions of Hyboria, from icy wastes to steamy jungles. Hidden temples and catacombs full of puzzles and foes reward your curiosity, while you fight with a wide range of blades, axes and maces and hunt down the pieces of the Atlantean Sword.

Arx Fatalis

Fantasy setting

A first-person RPG set in an underground fantasy world where the sun has died. It stands out for its gesture-drawn rune spellcasting, highly interactive environments and gloomy cavernous atmosphere.

Legend of Grimrock

Fantasy setting

A classic grid-based dungeon crawler in the vein of Dungeon Master, where you guide a party of four step by step through a treacherous mountain full of puzzles, traps and secrets. Combat runs in real time, so dodging and positioning are key.

Ultima IX: Ascension

Fantasy setting

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.

Fairune

Pure single-player experience

In Fairune you explore a small retro-styled fantasy world, mixing block-style puzzles with action combat on your way to sealing an ancient evil. Its charm lies in how tightly the puzzles and fights are woven together.

Shadowgate

Challenging difficulty

A classic point-and-click adventure where you explore a cursed castle as the chosen hero, solving tough inventory puzzles and surviving countless deadly traps to stop the Warlock Lord.

King's Quest VIII: The Mask of Eternity

Fantasy setting

The final King's Quest entry moves to 3D and sends the knight Connor through a cursed land, mixing real-time combat, puzzles and exploration with light RPG elements. An unusual genre shift away from the series' classic point-and-click roots.
