Action MMORPG

Drakensang Online

Bigpoint’s isometric action MMO, and the only game on our shelf where combat is yours to steer. Choose one of four sharply different classes, fight through Dracania in real time, team up for the harder dungeons and test your build in the arena. It asks for proper evenings and pays them back.

Comic fantasy RPG

Shakes & Fidget

Playa Games’ comic RPG grew out of a webcomic that mocks big fantasy MMOs, and it keeps the jokes coming for years. Send your hero on timed tavern quests, raise five attributes, pick from a dozen classes and eight races, then take the long road through dungeons, the arena and guild life.

Hunted Cow Studios’ world of Erildath is a classic hunter’s RPG with a remarkably long road: well over a thousand levels of realms and creatures.
