What players think
The recurring themes across 255 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Everything about this game is good: the enemies, varied and fun, some of them quite unusual to the classical RPG genre; the magic system: varied and easy to use; the places: you can see the care for details like the indoor house decorations or the creepy cemeteries; the music: so good and non intrusive; the quest journal: simple and efficient.
The best thing is that there’s a lot of different character builds possible, some being harder than others (Magic users being the easiest to play).
Eschalon Book 1 is a classic fun game with old school graphics, music, and gameplay.
The non playable characters are believable and interesting, and I enjoyed chatting with them.
Also the difficulty and balancing are spot on and I am told by reliable sources that Eschalon only gets better with each chapter.
Torches on the wall can be picked up and added to your inventory, which is a nice touch.
