This is one of my favorite PS2 era games, and it sparked my joy for the ARPG genre. I have so many fond memories of playing it during the summers of my childhood.
I played this one before playing Champions of Norrath, confused at first at the mention of events and characters I had never even heard about before I still managed to finish this one despite my frustration with its many enemies that hit like a truck and seem to be positioned in places really far away from any checkpoints/save points. At one point I even decided to restart the game using a brand new class and focusing on leveling up another attributes. It was still difficult, but with that decision I ended up reaching and going beyond the part where I had stopped playing before until completing the game at least 3 times. I've been replaying both this game and its prequel on a PS2 emulator as of recently and even then I would like to own a copy if it ever gets brought to GOG.
A purposefully limited ARPG that hits all the right notes of dungeon crawling while being endlessly repeatedable.
I've personally enjoyed this game enough to mod and edit hex code for the items as well as recreate 3D character models.
A classic in the same vein as the Dark Alliance games. With those getting recent PC ports, and having used the same engine, this game would make an excellent addition to PC.
A memorable PS2 game.
It's very cool that at the start of the game the player is given the option of whether they want to choose the path of good or evil.
It has a character creator, multiplayer mode, lots of items and equipment and customization options.
I'd like to see this game on GOG, as I'd like to be able to play it without having to rely on the console or an emulator. I'd like to see several of its bugs fixed, as some of them can compromise progression in the game. And on this store, I know that could be possible.
Like the first one, Champions of Norrath, these are some of my favorite fantasy games that I'd love to see remastered or remade. But I would take both of them in any form. As these are games I go back to again and again and I would love to have version where I don't have to worry about the disc eventually becoming unplayable.
I Love GOG and your work, help me and community to save this game.
Please only together we can make changes in this Geek World we are Making together, thank you GOG, i love you.
Underrated in my opinion. Something about after defeating an enemy and it drop boots, a weapon or armor and you have no idea what it might be. Could it be a new piece of equipment that beats your current one? You never know. It just seems like there is a never ending supply of different items in this game and the surprise of what you might get is exciting.
Follow up to Champions of Norrath and previous to last game developed by Snowblind Studios before the studio got lost in a ravine forever.
It's gameplay is much improved and it has a ton of additional gameplay and challenges. All the old classes make a return with extended skilltrees and two new classes are also added.

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival

God of War: Ghost of Sparta"Marking Kratos' second foray into portable gaming, God of War: Ghost of Sparta stands as a spin-off nestled between the events of God of War and God of War II. Despite ascending to the title of the god of war, Kratos remains haunted by nightmarish visions. One such vision compels him to embark on a new journey when he witnesses his mother, Callisto, imprisoned in Atlantis under the dominion of the sea god Poseidon. Against Athena's counsel to ignore the vision, Kratos sets forth to unravel his past and, in the process, rescue his long-lost brother, Deimos, from the clutches of the god of death, Thanatos.
This second instalment for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) maintains a gameplay style akin to its predecessor, introducing a handful of new mechanics. Kratos wields his trusty Blades of Athena in this quest, now augmented with a new magic known as Thera's Bane, amplifying the potency of his attacks. The game also introduces several new magical items and a fresh secondary weapon. In addition to the captivating story mode, Ghost of Sparta offers the "Temple of Zeus," a location where players can spend orbs acquired in the Battle Arena to acquire various art and other bonuses."Action Fantasy Historical
