This was one of a kind JRPG that I found in my early teens, back when I wanted to play Diablo and couldn't. Ended up addicted to it - simple gameplay and mechanisms, the companion is really useful and very well done/placed into the game. It is quite linear but is still very fun. Would be awesome to have this here as an complete package (all 4 episodes), with support for widescreens and high resolutions so I can finally revive those old good memories of this awesome game!

This is such a hidden gem of a game I would love to see come to GoG! What sticks out to me was the awesome gameplay, awesome music, and fun RPG system. It was released in parts but I would love to see the full game show up here with support for modern systems! I want this game on GoG so that others can also discover this gem of a game!

I've only ever played the first episode. I remember there was an external program that would catalogue the items you had found but you would have to save, quit, scan, and reload. The completionist in me didn't mind the interruptions to gameplay at the time. The first episode was free, acting as a demo for the saga of four. It was fun, and the dog companion was a neat addition to the Diablo formula. I think you can still purchase the episodes from the original developer but it would be amazing for it to be here, preserved on GoG as a complete collection.

One of my childhood games. Couldn't finish because of episodic system. It was pretty immersive though, I remember it brightly till this day and would buy and play with joy!

Lembro de jogar esse jogo por volta de 2008 quando eu tinha um netbook (sim, um netbook, não um notebook). Joguei por muito tempo e era um dos meus preferidos da época, e continua sendo muito querido até os dias de hoje. Infelizmente, ele não é mais comercializado oficialmente por nenhuma loja, nem mesmo pelos desenvolvedores do jogo. Gostaria muito de poder jogá-lo novamente, e se for através da GOG, ficarei muito grato e feliz!

Knights of Xentar
Knights of XentarDragon Knight III is an eroge role-playing video game released on many Japanese PCs in 1991. It is part of the Dragon Knight series of games created by Japanese game developer ELF, who originally released the game for the NEC PC-9801 computer in 1991, followed by ports for the Sharp X68000 and PC Engine CD platforms. The game is a sequel of Dragon Knight and Dragon Knight II. Its gameplay system is different from that of previous installments of the Dragon Knight series, resembling this of the early Final Fantasy (even more in the PC version) series instead of first-person-view dungeon crawler, and enabling the player to explore the entire world of the game. Some of the characters were renamed in the English and German localized Knights of Xentar release, including the protagonist Takeru's name changed to Desmond.

Wolfenstein RPG
Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store. The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle. The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.
