Gurk III is here and it is a lovingly-crafted game in the style of the great 8-bit RPGs of the 1980s. The crisply-pixelated icons, the painstakingly-emulated analog synth music, the hack'n'slash ethos, it's all here! The gameplay and interface are simple, but the world is large and the tactics run deep. Roll stats for three heroes chosen from nine character classes, then explore a world with vast wildernesses, 50+ dungeon levels, 125+ creatures and 200+ unique items, all accompanied by a soundtrack of 20 original songs, scored in 8-bit synth emulators. Why, this ain't your parents' RPG, it's your grandparents'!

Open app and all I get is a square in middle of screen and the rainbow bar and name in upper left corner. Any thoughts?

Getting geared up ! Loving every minute so far. The Lavatron 86 is a fantastic device ! Loving the turn based combat, can't wait to find out how deep it gets. bobish Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2013 143 0 16 #16 bobish, Aug 10, 2013 This looks pretty cool. Looking like turn based combat. Couple of things not ever hearing of these games: Max party size? How's the mapping? Save system? Maybe some other game comparisons? Much obliged..... Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,240 180 63 #17 Royce, Aug 10, 2013 Party is 3, one warrior, one archer, and one mage. There are 3 classes for each type to choose from. For instance your warrior can be a knight, barbarian or valkyrie Mapping is okay. There's a minimap for dungeons and towns. And a larger world map. You get only 1 save slot, but can save anywhere. ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #18 ojtitus, Aug 10, 2013 Even though it's not universal, this game plays and looks good at x2 on my iPad mini. It has quickly earned a GotW nomination from me. I'm lovin it! bobish Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2013 143 0 16 #19 bobish, Aug 10, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. Looks like one worth giving a shot. bigred447uk Well-Known Member Apr 16, 2009 1,241 3 38 #20 bigred447uk, Aug 11, 2013 Okay i just clocked the size of the world map. This looks like its going to have legs ! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
