Brings what grabs you about The Elder Scrolls: Arena: an open world, melee combat with weapons or fists and a fantasy setting.

Exiled Kingdoms

Open world

An old-school isometric action RPG with a large freely explorable world, factions and quests that involve choices. It focuses on character building, exploration and challenging combat.

Two Worlds

Open world

Gedonia

Open world

Gedonia is a classic open-world fantasy RPG promising a lot of freedom in building your character and exploring a large world. Based on the limited information available, it appears to be a smaller indie title focused on discovery and character growth.

Gothic 3

Open world

A vast, freely explorable Myrtana under orc rule where you side with orcs, rebels, assassins or nomads and carve your own path through the world. The game is notoriously buggy but beloved for its atmosphere and Kai Rosenkranz's sweeping score.

Ravensword: Shadowlands

A fantasy action RPG in the vein of The Elder Scrolls, originally built for mobile, offering an open world, gear and skill progression, and a story set in the Kingdom of Tyreas.

Sword of Vermilion

As a prince avenging your father, you hunt eight hidden Rings across a wide land to bring down Tsarkon. Its real-time sword fights and secret-hunting exploration make this early action RPG stand out.

Gothic II

Open world

A handcrafted, densely populated fantasy island where the Nameless Hero rises from weakling to champion, joins a faction, and has to earn every bit of progress the hard way. The cult classic thrives on its believable world, gruff dialogue and a superb sense of discovery.

Wigmund

Open world

Wigmund is an indie action RPG set in an open fantasy world where you uncover ancient secrets and the mystery of the hidden knights. Combat is skill-based rather than simple click-to-attack.
