A sprawling, turn-based fantasy RPG with deep exploration and strategic combat in a vast underground world.

What players say
Players praise the story as a direct sequel that makes the Empire's invasion feel dire, and note magic is overpowered. Combat draws mixed feelings: some call the hit-chance and enemy damage frustrating even at high level. The game is a heavy-reading, 80-hour old-school CRPG that runs on anything but lacks quality-of-life features like closing or bashing doors.
