Arcante
Somehow reminds me of Might and Magic 6 (although others might say it more resembles M&M 9 ?)
Anyway, there were multiple games of this genre (first person, fantasy world exploring, party based RPG)
Probably a rare genre nowadays.
We all know turn-based party-wise crawlers, or top-down RPGs.
Arcante feels like a variation, that wants to keep the action (free movement) of the M&M 6, but at the same time modernize the clunky spell casting (which required the player to pause the game, even with memorized / active spell, to get the upper hand).

This game has the the old Might and Magic vibe. Could use a bit more content, more quests, characters, and story but I am enjoying some nostalgia. If you are looking for an old fashion romp through fantasy ville give it a try.
Finished it up. Took ab out 9 hours. Didn’t find a use for the bird head statue or the second city riddle, but the ending was…interesting. Still mostly enjoyed it despite some quirks. Very old fashioned might and magic approach to the genre, but it was a fun romp down memory lane. To the creator, good luck and I hope you are successful enough to try again.

Our Hero! Two
I really really enjoyed the game so much that I played it twice. The most funny part is definitely the opponents and the author has an irony and a way of creating the story that really fascinates me and made me laugh a lot (I had a lot of lol moment). A masterpiece

A really cool adventure and a well written story. Locations and musics are awesome. The combat system could be improved in future games, but it is already fun to play.

Shadoworlds
Deafening silence in the deep darkness of space.
The Magna 6 system is home to the most advanced weapons lab the universe has ever known. Two months ago, communications with the orbiting facility mysteriously went dead without any warning. If the cutting edge weapons in the station were to fall into the wrong hands, the results would be cataclysmic. Knowing that quick action is necessary, but unaware of what terrors might have caused the break in communication, you are called in to lead a small team of brave but expendable explorers through the imperiled space station with a mission to ascertain the fate of its crew.
Krisalis Software and Teque London’s gripping isometric squad-based sci-fi action RPG follows your team of four explorers as they trek through the dark environments of the Weapons Research Facility to uncover the mystery of what went wrong. Each member of the team is chosen by the player based on their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their personality and individual history. As the leader of the unit, you have full control over the inventories and actions of your squad, even down to deciding when to use headlamps to illuminate the darkness. But watch out – the inky blackness of space hides friend and foe alike.
-
Traverse the dimly lit corridors of the Weapons Research Facility and beam down to the planet surface for terrestrial excursions.
-
Craft weapons by combining interchangeable items found on your mission and use them to battle against hostile defense robots and other menacing threats.
-
Marvel at the real-time dynamic lighting powered by impressive Super Photoscaping lighting techniques. Watch lamps and explosions cast lights and shadows on the environment, and use your squad’s headlamps to illuminate puzzles along your route.
-
Take full control of your team of explorers as you manage their inventories, guide their individual actions, and keep tabs on their life-giving fluid levels.
The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt
The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt is an action RPG with fast-paced combat requiring use of strong offensive and defensive mechanics across multiple modes (Story Mode, Endless Dungeon, Onslaught, Conquest, Heist). Fight your enemies up close, use buffs/debuffs/status ailments to gain an advantage or place effects like tornados, fire, water, death forests, black holes and more onto the battlefield.
The Mittu star system enjoyed a long period of prosperity, and was watched over by three powerful beings who shared their unique skillsets and technologies across three worlds for millenia. From out of nowhere, a Demon Army of immense power appeared suddenly and began invading these planets, slaughtering countless innocents and causing fear and paranoia in the godlike rulers of each world. On the planet of Altair, the first spacecraft in Mittu’s history has been constructed, with the hopes that its crew can find something in the Mittu star system to end the war against the Demon Army.
Xecryst Remains
Keeping in mind that this is an early access game, I went in with pretty low expectations. So this game completely encapsulated me. While it may not initially seem like there is a lot of content, you’ll quickly find exactly how deep the rabbit hole goes, with the ability to upgrade your characters after ending a match, carrying items between games, and a plethora of items and upgrades to use while playing. It very quickly becomes a surprisingly expansive game, compared to it’s initial appearance, and mind you, I only finished round 1 at the time of this review. The combat system feels fluid, and the the game runs very well on my low-mid end computer, even on the highest settings, and man oh man, are there a lot of settings to give the game a completely personalized feel.

I’m impressed.
The game is very early of course, and there’s not a whole lot to do, but the developer takes criticism and fixes problems actively.
You can never tell how long a person will work on something before getting bored, but so far the fixes and additions are frequent.
So far the FPS has improved, many crashes have been fixed, and random content updates are being pushed out frequently.
Good
-Basic mob defense game with good customization.
-Decent controls with ability to remap
-Decent graphics but nothing special

Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege 1 is a very simple game in terms of gameplay. Meditative action without guts covering the whole battlegroud, plus some actions with your items, such as changing your equipement, reading a few books, and walking through the game in a rather thin corridor…
…would say someone and, despite that description works, that won’t be true in placing the accents.
Most noticeable part is the party work. Every character has only a little of story, but… you can play from a point of view from any of them, just as with your hero - you can even give a boot to your created character and beat the rest of the game just with your conpanions without hero! You can specify their roles, formations in groups, actions of each other like “to seek and destroy anyone” or “not to fight even when attacked”. It reveals you some interesting cases, nearly impossible in other games, such as “you are a healer, all others are stunned, so you run around, heal one, but get stunned instead, so he runs around instead, trying to rise someone else”… or “companions form a group around dragon by themselves, so you don’t need to correct their formation at all”. Yes, there were flaws, like, the big parties could not by themselves stand together on a lift, so you have to move some of them. But it’s still amazing how simple and at the same time workind that solution is, so you can imagine, how it was 17 years ago!

[My steam total is much less than I’ve actually played since you can play offline without Steam connection. EDIT: Game is of quite sufficient length. Longest mazes I’ve ever played.]
Fun game from 2002. I started as a huge Diablo 2 fan. I’m catching up and enjoying the era of now-cheap RPG/action games before upgrading my system to run more modern games. Just so I don’t spend before I really need to. (currently a Radeon X-600) This includes the Dungeon Siege series + Fallout, Torment, Torchlight 1/2, Baldur’s Gate, Titan Quest, Morrowind, Oblivion …before hitting Skyrim, D3, etc. Bottom line: In many ways, this fits in the older era. – So, those are your ganeral Action/RPG + hack/slash comparisons.

Elmarion: the Lost Temple
A wonderful dungeon crawler, a bit like might and magic. A beautiful world, endless dungeons, and crowds of monsters - everything we love. But there is no turn-based combat (although they promise to add at the time of release). There is no big map. Unobvious increase in levels. And what I don’t like is that you can’t make a save. But in general it is quite an interesting and enjoyable game.

⭐️I do not even know. It seems like a cool game. But there are also enough cons. Some things, of course, are debatable. But here’s my vision:
⭐️Pros:
1. A fairly rare genre of party RPG in the first person. I haven’t seen such games for a long time.
2. Generation of dungeons. The idea is not new. But I was glad that it was implemented here.
3. A sufficient number of heroes to choose from, a large number of abilities of the heroes. You can make a variety of games and potentially play the game several times.
