My introductory game to the Warhammer World.
The game is quite unique even with today's releases, as its campaign is made of scenarios—with a lethal finality on the loss of units.
Best Merc Game ever! Fantastic Setting within the Warhammer-Universe, timeless Mechanics and until today not matched by any other Game, please bring it back, it deserves to be in your Hall of Fame!
Warhammer Dark Omen was a my first strategic game to play in my first pc 1998. The only mode to finish that game was to use cheat.....i still remember the words! Amazing
I love the campaign of this game. The battles are all meaningful, the dialogues are well written and the story is interesting and immersive. Its almost like reading a good story book.
Oh god. I remember this game and I recently wanted to replay it. I don’t know why, but I remember it having “pretty good” german voiceovers. My favorite thing of all time about it, is the fact that the german pc gaming magazine “GameStar” gave it an award for ‘extraordinary realism’ because terrain height and so on was an important factor in the battles. Bold choice for a warhammer fantasy game.
I remember being so hooked on this game, that when my alloted PC time was over I recreated the missions using Lego, humming the background music and mimicing the sound effects. I couple of years ago I managed to make my copy run on a modern system after some wrangling, and I'd say it still holds up, 3D terrain with character sprites is a really good combo, and even the interface while clunky, is still a massive improvement over SotHR. Trully a Good Old Game that could use some love in the "running it on modern hardware" department.
If you've never heard of warhammer, Dark omen brings you into the world and shows you what to expect. It doesn't tell you it shows you, and the first time you're wizard explodes will leave a lasting impression

Shin Megami TenseiThe story follows a nameless protagonist who lives in near-future Tokyo. When a portal to the realm of demons is opened, United States officials order a nuclear attack on Tokyo. Transported with two other supporting characters thirty years into the future, the protagonist finds the Earth ruined by a demon invasion, which is now the stage for an escalating conflict between the Order of Messiah and the Ring of Gaea, conflicting cults who wish to bring about kingdoms for their respective patron deities (YHVH and Lucifer). The story is influenced by moral decisions the protagonist makes, aligning him either with the Order, the Ring of Gaea, or setting him up as an independent agent.
The gameplay uses first-person navigation of dungeons and turn-based battles against demons. The player can recruit demons as allies by talking to them rather than fighting them, and two to three demons can be fused to create new demons.Fantasy Warfare Science fiction
Shin Megami Tensei if...Shin Megami Tensei If... is a RPG that was developed as a change from previous Shin Megami Tensei titles, focusing on a small-scale environment and threat rather than a large-scale environment as in previous titles.Fantasy
Shin Megami Tensei IIFifty years have passed since the hero of Shin Megami Tensei followed the neutral path, defeated the leaders of Law and Chaos, and founded a state where followers of both ideologies could live freely. But his reign of freedom doesn't last long. The Messian faith gains power, expanding the Cathedral into a new enclosed environment named Tokyo Millennium. The Gaians rise up, but their rebellion is repressed by the Messians' elite warrior class, the Temple Knights. People flock into the encapsulated city, submitting themselves to the strict hierarchy imposed by the Messian Center, where only the privileged living in the Center district are safe from demonic assaults.
A few years later, a retired arena fighter Okamoto rescues a man named Hawk, who was fighting for his life against a demon. He trains him to fight in the arena of the Valhalla district, hoping that he would win the tournament, which will grant them both citizenship in the Center district. When Hawk succeeds, he is brought before a Messian bishop, and learns the shocking truth about his own origins and the role he is supposed to play in the grand scheme of events. A new battle for a better future begins.
Shin Megami Tensei II retains all the gameplay features of the previous game. The player is able to summon demons, fuse them to create more powerful ones, make them participate in battles, talk to random enemies and receive information from them, etc. The combat is turn-based, and the player explores the complex, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective view. Like in the first game, the Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments play an important role: during the course of the game, the player will have to make choices that influence the alignment of the protagonist, steering the storyline into different directions.
New features include a "magic succession" system, which allows demons to carry over their original magic spells when they are fused into new ones, a few additional spells and abilities, and the possibility to play at the casino and win unique items.Fantasy Thriller Warfare Science fiction
Radical Dreamers: Le Trésor InterditRadical Dreamers is the little-known sequel to the popular and critically acclaimed Chrono Trigger. Unlike Chrono Trigger and the other games in the Chrono series, Radical Dreamers is a menu-driven text adventure/visual novel, with sparse visuals and atmospheric music. The game was released only in Japan for the Super Famicom's Satellaview satellite radio service.
In this game, three thieves - Kid, a young girl famous for her age, Magil, a mysterious wizard with an unknown past, and Serge, a rather cowardly young man - head to Lord Lynx's manor to steal the Frozen Flame, a legendary jewel. But Kid's not just there for the jewel - she has a personal vendetta against Lynx.
Many elements from this game were carried over to Chrono Cross, including characters, music, and parts of the story. In fact, Chrono Cross implies Radical Dreamers takes place in one of many alternate versions of the main game world.
The game was later localized and bundled in the remaster Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, under the newly localized title of "Radical Dreamers: Le Trésor Interdit".Fantasy Drama
