February 02, 2025

Despite what is displayed on this entry, 0 A.D. is not a game that got released in 2010. This game has been in development since 2000, at the time the plan was to develop it in the Age of Empires 2 engine, as a total conversion mod. The developers quickly felt limited by this engine, and this became a stand-alone game project using an in-house engine. In 2009 the source code of the engine and game (including the art, not only the engine code) got released under an open-source licence, and the development had been ongoing ever since, with the most recent release (at the time of writing this) being the Alpha 27 published on 2025-01-30. If you don’t know what open-source is about, you can see that as the most long-lived "early access" game distributed for free, developed by a team of volunteers and without looking for any kind of profit. Despite the game not being complete yet — it lacks a single player campaign with a story — it is already on the level of many commercial games with regards to single player skirmishes and multiplayer.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter

Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles. The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.
