A classic cRPG based on the fifth edition of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop system. The game was created by Digital Extremes, a seasoned developer, under the auspices of Wizards of the Coast. The game is based on the titular Sword Coast universe, known to PC players from e.g. the legendary Baldur’s Gate. In terms of gameplay, the title invokes the classics of the genre, offering characteristic isometric view and real-time combat with active pause. The game puts you at the helm of a 4-person party of heroes of different races (5 to choose from) and classes (6 available). Although you can play solo, the developers stressed the advantages of cooperative gameplay. One of the novelties in the game is the role of Dungeon Master – the pillar of any tabletop RPG. The player who takes this role can influence gameplay e.g. by deploying traps and monsters.

Running away from certain demise, the hero ends up in the ranks of mysterious Templars, where he must discover the truth about his dark secret, which can lead to the end of humanity. The gameplay draws on classic hack’n’slash titles, though developers implemented some of their original innovations to enrich the game. One of them is the incredibly complex crafting system, providing the player with nearly complete liberty when making equipment and weaponry. Character development is equally unusual – the game’s heroes don’t learn a predefined set of skills from the start, but their bodies mutate depending on one’s play style.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is the first expansion pack for the best-selling action RPG game, Diablo III. The add-on created by the Blizzard Entertainment’s development team has added a fifth act to the main campaign, in which Malthael, the Angel of Death, is determined to put an end to the war between celestial beings and demons; the Black Stone binding Diablo’s soul is supposed to help him achieve this goal. The expansion also introduces a new playable character – Crusader – and raises the limit of character’s experience level to 70. In addition, the creators decided to modify the loot system; now we find it less often, but it is more valuable and better suited to a particular hero. Some changes have also been introduced to the visuals, making them much darker than in the original version of the game.

Another attempt at a first-person action game set in the popular Might & Magic franchise. Dark Messiah of Might & Magic was created by then-unknown development team at Arcane Studios (who later became famous thanks to the Dishonored series) for Ubisoft, who bought the rights to the IP from its previous publisher, 3DO. In Dark Messiah of Might & Magic you assume the role of Sareth, a young apprentice to the wizard Phenrig, whose mission is to prevent the coming of the eponymous Dark Messiah into the realm of Ashan. As you are exploring 12 vast locations and follow the main questline, you will fight various enemies, such as orcs, goblins, trolls, and even dragons. The authors put much emphasis on creating realistic swordplay and offered players about 40 weapons as well as several dozen offensive spells. Moreover, gameplay has been enriched with RPG elements, meaning that the protagonist gains experience and learns new abilities and spells over time. Apart from the story-based single player campaign, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic offers multiplayer for up to 20 players.

Cube World is a sandbox action-RPG game created by an indie developer Picroma. This game is inspired by such titles as the cult Minecraft and franchises like Legend of Zelda and Monster Hunter. Cube World does not feature a story as such. Instead, the player explores an endless, randomly generated world, full of dungeons, castles, and monsters. Gameplay is based on exploration, questing, and environment shaping. In this voxel-based world you can erect and destroy buildings as well as craft useful items. Apart from single player gameplay, the game also offers online cooperation.
