Eschalon Book I (Mac, PC, Linux)

Ramblings / August 5, 2008 / John / 0

Well, this one was a bit of a surprise! Eschalon is a turn based RPG in the style of Wizardry, Ultima, and so on. It’s an orthogonal / iso projected world, with loads of stats, loads of quests and pretty old-school graphics. And it’s shareware – can be had for $19 these days. 

Anyhoo, I’ve only just started a character and had a rummage through a  town and some ruins, and quickly noticed the difficulty. It’s kinda like Temple of Elemental Evil but without the party, if you see what I mean.

Either way, it’s worth downloading the trial for anyone with a passing interest in RPGs.
