Experience classic RPG gameplay with vast outdoor environments in this software.
Eschalon: Book I is a must-play classic role-playing game that provides an immersive experience. The game takes you on an adventure across vast outdoor environments and deep into sprawling dungeons as you seek to uncover the mystery that surrounds you.
The game world is tile-built and turn-based, with the result of every action calculated, rolled or statistically determined. To win battles, careful skill management, equipment selection and magic usage are paramount to success, and rapid button clicking won't do the trick. This game is refreshingly not another "action RPG".
The game boasts of hundreds of items and dozens of creatures waiting to be discovered. The game features a combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden gems, which means that no two games will play the exact same way.
Eschalon: Book I offers an unlimited character development style. Players get to choose from 24 unique skills to create the character they want, and there are 8 base attributes that affect the character's performance throughout the game. The game world does not adjust or scale itself to match anyone's play style, so the difficulty or ease of the game is directly related to the success in developing the character.
Combat is not rushed in Eschalon: Book I. Players get to enjoy a turn-based system that allows them to roll through combat at their pace. They can make their moves brisk and tactful or analyze every option for maximum advantage.
The game world of Eschalon: Book I is non-linear, which means that players can explore it as they desire. They can choose to follow the storyline, or not. It's up to them. However, they must be cautious of where they go and who they trust because the world of Eschalon can be deadly for inexperienced adventurers.
