Ultima VIII: Pagan

Ultima VIII: Pagan

PC

June 15, 1994

RPG, Classic RPG, Singleplayer.

The eight major entry in a cult cRPG series created by Richard Garriott, whose first part debuted back in 1980 as one of the first commercial products in its kind. The next chapter in the saga about the nameless hero known as the Avatar is a continuation of the events of the previous game. The main antagonist is again the evil demon Guardian, who managed to capture the hero, and wants to take revenge on him for thwarting the demon’s plan of conquering the continent of Britannia. Hence, Ultima VIII: Pagan takes you to a very different world, called Pagan, governed by unfamiliar rules. The player, obviously, has to break free and ultimately defeat evil. When compared to the seventh installment, released in 1992, the game employs a brand new engine, therefore the number of details is significantly greater, although the title still features isometric view. As you play, you control a single hero and gradually develop his statistics and skills over time.

A sequel to the 2001 strategy game Europa Universalis II, which focused on a 400 years period between 1419 and 1820. Crusader Kings can be considered a prologue of the previous standalone installment of the franchise, taking place earlier and allowing us to lead the European nations in the years 1066-1419. Like its predecessor, Crusader Kings is a faithful simulation of the period, taking into account diplomatic, social, military, religious and feudal relations. The greatest difference between the two games is the fact that Crusader Kings doesn't focus solely on the development of your nation, but building the prestige and influence of your dynasty. A huge innovation is the new combat system, faithfully recreating the differences in the offensive capabilities of the individual nation's units.

Similarly to the said predecessor, the game focuses on realism, and pays much attention to small details. Unlike most strategy games, units are not a constant value – the seamen, airmen, or infantrymen all gather experience, and experience fatigue, while each commander has their strong points, as well as weaknesses. War in the Pacific contains 15 diversified campaigns, and remains easy-to-use despite being an unforgiving, complex game.
