Publisher's description of Eschalon Book I

From Basilisk Games:

Eschalon: Book I is a classic role-playing game experience that will take you across massive outdoor environments and deep into dozens of sprawling dungeons as you seek to uncover the mystery of who - or what - you are. It features a tile-built, turn-based game world where the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined. Strategy is paramount to success; careful skill management, equipment selection and magic usage will win your fights, not rapid button clicking. There are hundreds of items and dozens of creatures await your discovery. A combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies means that no two games will play the exact same way.

"Not worth it unless you want are trying to learn patience."

by RPGanalyst on June 11, 2008

Pros: The intro was sorta cool. The game interface was fairly easy, from what little I played the game. Also, they had fairly well detailed descriptions of just about everything. All you needed to do was move your cursor over whatever it was--skill, item, etc.

Cons: Umm...you couldn't run? You could only walk. And not just walk--like tiptoe. In addition, when you rested, you regained like 1 hit point every 15 seconds. I think the designer of this wanted people to learn patience. I am not a patient person, especially when I'm trying to play a game and enjoy it:/
