Darklands

Satan sucks

played this when i was a kid in like 1994. One of the best rpg experiences i had at the time and even today is worth a try. Be sure to look up the manual for this game online and save a copy of it before you start playing. Every time you leave a town, you might be asked a question which the answer to is only found in the manual. When i first played this game i didn't have the manual and had to try through trial and error which symbols meant what and hand write them in a notebook. If you get the question wrong, the game will exit out, losing all progress unless you do what i did, which was to save the game every time you leave a town. This was essentially the game dev's version of piracy protection back then.

This game might have been great 30 years ago but it's unplayable by today's standards. - runs in dosbox - music stutters for no apparent reason on my high end PC - font is illegible - UI is a wreck - main gameplay is choose your own adventure reading - stupid copy protection kills progress

Awesome vintage game. Still as engaging as it was when I first played it in 1992. Love it. Thank you Mr. Hendrick.

Apesar de não ser meu gênero favorito, Darklands é um excelente RPG do início dos anos 90. Horas e horas de jogo, todos os dias, ininterruptamente. Adeus amizades. Uma história, milhares de possibilidades. Dezenas de personagens com dezenas de características totalmente diferentes. Nenhuma pode ser negligenciada. Força bruta, diversos tipos de armas e diversas armas de cada tipo. Alquimia, todo tipo de fórmula para qualquer situação. E todo tipo de componente para poder fazer suas fórmulas. Alguns extremamente difíceis de encontrar. Favor divino e os santos podem te salvar. Trabalhe a ganhe seu dinheiro para comprar armas, componentes, ensinamentos, conhecimento. Dezenas e dezenas de cidades na Alemanha Medieval. Transforme seu time em heróis legendários. Ou em bandidos merecedores da morte!

After playing this game for several hours I am certain I have been dead for 500 years and am entertaining my ancestral ghosts. What a blast from history! A lot went into this game.

I loved this game when it first came out. the style and the graphics were very good at the time. I, of course, had to download it and try it again when it saw it here. Unfortunately , it is dated and the controls are a bit difficult. Still, I wish that someone would update this game. The game play was great, and the alchemy was very good.
