It's mainly developing by Afritz1 for several years to bring TES Arena to today's standards as open-source implementation of the original game with C++. Still in development but doesn't have a gameplay yet. The game is supporting Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Here's the YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@afritz1265
Also here is the Github page if you're interested to play development version: https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

In this end, we're surrendering to the mutants and telling the location of Vault 13. They're reverting The Choosen One to a mutant FEV and invading the Vault 13.

Yay, I finished Pathfinder WotR (discuss.tchncs.de)

I haven't finished many games but I just did it with Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. 🎉 I went along the Angel Path and ascended to Heaven.

Now I ponder what to do next. Maybe another run–the Demon Path sounds like fun too? Pathfinder: Kingmaker also looks interesting with a more grounded story?

I'm playing on Amazon Luna and unfortunately Baldur's Gate 3 is not available there.

Information on all-time low price sourced from https://isthereanydeal.com/game/apollyon-river-of-life/info/, offer ends April 22. $14.99 -> $8.24. This was originally just going to be a "hey, look at this CRPG" post that I scheduled to post later because of how many posts we have already gotten today, but then I noticed the sale.

Just curious. I see !jrpg@lemmy.zip has lots of activity and !crpg@lemmy.world has none, and it also made me wonder about allowed content in CRPG.

DarkSun - one of the most iconic and unique settings for D&D was made a crpg. The result was weird. Plenty of problems, but also helluva fun solving the puzzles of the land of scorched deserts... (www.youtube.com)

From where I sit, it warrants installing Android emulator to play the game.
