Story:"Battlemaster is a fanatsy aracde adventure set in a world of myth and feudal strife. The land is in decay: isolated villages, towns and castles are divided by areas of chaotic monster-infested wilderness. Your task is to restore order by conquering the four kingdoms and handing their crowns to the Watcher who inhabits the Tower." The player decides which race they want to play (Human, Orc, Dwarf or Elf) each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It is then a matter of clearing out areas of opponents and finding items to enhance your character's and companions abilities. There are many traps to avoid and death is a constant in what most people would find a very tough game. Gameplay for leader is action-oriented, with a menu that allows to Parley/Travel/Rally Troops, change formations or use items. The leader attacks with Melee and Projectile buttons. Some classes are more reliant on teammates than others. "Parley" allows you to buy (but not sell) items, or buy a Safe Pass (skip the area)Show more

Battlemaster is a great game with a mix of strategy and actionrpg. Exploring the map was great fun with lot of enviromental storytelling. When I played this game back in the day on my Atari ST somehow the save function was bugged, so I had to restart from the beginning many times after a defeat and never finished it. I believe the version on gog has the old ega graphics which are a little inferior to the amiga and atari st graphics also the sound and music is inferior on the pc-port, still a great game but I wish gog could somehow upgrade graphics and sound.
Those games also need your vote!
