his game is a 'Work in Progress', it is retro in that it is like the CRPG's of the 90's; It has auto-mapping and 2 races, Humans and Dwarves. Three classes; Knights (fighter type), Clerics, and Wizards. It is a great start for the game, with 3 major dungeons and several non-dungeon combat encounter areas. Weapons of various types and various 'schools' of magic can be taken by the player for his four characters. Some bugs and glitches occur, but the developer is very good about timely responding to game issues. Some of the listed weapons and spells cannot be used at the moment, as the characters are limited to 'Initiate' status. As the game grows so to will the access to the 'higher level' weapons and spells. The story line is interesting and I look forward to the updates and then the finished game. If you like the old style fantasy CRPG's this is an excellent offering. I recommend it. :)

Prince of Persia 3D

Prince of Persia 3DPrince of Persia 3D is an Action Adventure game, developed and published by Red Orb Entertainment, which was released in 1999. It is the third installment in the Prince of Persia franchise, and technically the first of many reboots the franchise has got. Even though the game follows plenty of concepts from the original duology of games, it has a completely unconnected story from them. Despite that, since the release of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time marks the second reboot and the start of the "modern era" of the franchise, this game is often considered a part of "original trilogy/classic trilogy" including the original duology.
