This game was on demo disks both as a demo and as a trailer and the 10 year old me searching for new fantasy adventure games found this gem and was hooked forever. Spent many months playing this with my brother as we quested and replayed the main story over and over. To have this preserved with 4 player online support would be amazing as many of my friends ask us about this game as we won't stop talking about it still to this day. Gameplay is still fun though a bit dated but it's the memories you make with your friends as you get instant killed by a fire beetle or a bear mauls you over and over again and your friends need to bail you out of a tight jam. Please bring back one of the most underrated gems from the PS2 library and let the new generation experience everquest again.
Loved the sequel for this game, never got the chance to play this one, and nowadays it's hard to find a working PS2 copy where I live. Bringing this game to PC would allow easy access to me and many others.
I remember playing this when I was in my early teens long after the game's release. Frustrating at first, but then really enjoyable later when you get a bit more patient and start to learn more about enemies, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 were very good, but Champions and its sequel were, at least to me, just amazing in comparison. Really dated in some of its mechanics, but still enjoyable. Would really love being able to actually buy this one.
I played this game since childhood and every time I bought it I could only play halfway because it had too much space for just one CD and I was never able to download it correctly from the internet and I would love to play the sequel again
This is and has always been one of my favorite fantasy games. I've tried to emulate it over the years but it never works quite right. I own both Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms. I even got a second pre-owned version just so I'd be able to keep a playable copy around. Out of every game I've ever seen remastered or remade this is the one I've always hoped for the most. I'd love to be able to play this game again.
This PS2 title is the game that got me into gaming as a kid, besides N64 titles that I'd casually play. Champions is what developed my love for similar games such as Diablo, Path of Exiles, Grim Dawn and Baldur's Gate. Having Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms future proofed and playable on PC as an adult would be amazing.
Always played this with my childhood friend as a kid. Amazing game, especially the follow-up. After playing this one, we'd always wait for any news from Snowblind Studios.
All games they developed with their inhouse engine were fun, alas only a few games were made. Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I and II, Champions of Norrath and CoN Return to Arms and a fifth unaffiliated game that went by rather unnoticed.
After that the studio was acquired and their gates shut. Pity for it.
Dieses Spiel hat einfach eine Portierung auf PC verdient.
Mehr braucht man dazu eigentlich nicht schreiben.
War einer meiner meist gespielten A-RPGs auf der PS2
This game was my go to for many years, even entering into the ps5 era I return to my ps2 to play this. I even managed to get my wife to play this alongside me. Still have my original Fat Aqua ps2 and both Champions games. Definitely would purchase this again and again if ported to pc and/or remastered with updated graphics.

Bahamut LagoonBahamut Lagoon combines RPG mechanics with squad-based combat. Characters have HP, MP (SP for fighter characters), EXP, equipment, stats and class-specific, SP-draining special elemental abilities very much like traditional console RPGs. The player can explore his surroundings, talk to people and visit shops when not in battle, though to a limited degree as there is no world map and no way to leave the current area.
The game's core is its turn-based battles fought on a 2d grid. Characters are assembled into parties of four and the player allowed a maximum of six parties, which are usually well outnumbered. The two opposing sides act in alternating turns so that each party can move once and/or attack once a turn. Attacks are divided into distant and close-up combat. In the former, a party uses a special ability (e.g. casting fireballs, throwing lightning, healing allies) of one of its members at a distance. The range and possible area of effect damage vary per ability. If the attacking party has two or more characters with the same ability, they join in the action to multiply its effectiveness. Distant combat results in less money and generally less damage, but the target cannot retaliate. Distant attacks can also affect the field; fire and ice ignite or extinguish forests and melt or freeze ice, etc. Close-up, each unit in two adjacent opposing parties can act once. Very much like Final Fantasy SNES combat, they can attack an enemy, use an item or a special ability (though these can't be combined and most only affect one target instead of all) or defend.
Dragons are the player's ace in the hole. They have their own stats and gain experience like normal characters do. In battle, each party has a dragon attached to it and draws a large portion of its strength from that of its dragon: if a party's dragon is slain, the party will lose the ability to use special attacks and class-specific abilities for the remainder of the map. The beast acts as a very powerful autonomous unit that moves after its party does and it cannot be controlled beyond very simple commands, e.g. "Come!" Out of battle, dragons will eat anything and raising them by feeding them items is an important part of the game. Feeding can improve their stats as well as affect their behavior on the field, and the dragons develop into new forms as they grow.
The player can change the characters in each of the parties, their formation as well as what dragon represents them at will.Action Fantasy
