LGN "Balcony Team has released a new gameplay video for their open-world fantasy RPG Balrum. The video below shows off a new environment– Caves where we see our hero using magic like fireball and freeze against Crystal Golem."
When you think cRPG's you probably think of the classics like Baulder's Gate or Icewind Dale. Perhaps you think of newer cRPG's like Pillars of Eternity or Divinity: Original Sin.
However there are a whole world of classic style RPG's out there that you may have not heard of. Here are 5 you should check out.
For many of you the story behind Balrum will sound all too familiar – An indie team set out to build an RPG, promising ye olde RPG experience all but forgotten today. However, unlike the dime a dozen RPG Maker clones so often seen on Steam Greenlight, the game isn’t merely cashing in on nostalgia; instead it’s a true love letter to the open world RPGs of yesteryear.
Dan Miller writes: "Graphically there doesn’t seem too much to shout about with the fantasy world portrayed from a zoomed out isometric viewpoint and some functional animations. However scratch beneath the surface and that large open world looks well stocked with varied locations, independent NPCs, turn based combat, branching plot, side quests, farming, alchemy, hunting and even the option to tame animals to be your loyal pets."
Loved the gameplay.. game is shaping up pretty well.
