    Technically flimsy CRPG with a dense atmosphere and exciting tactical battles. The story and characters are replaceable.

    Not a very successful return to the grand old days of isometric RPGs. Black Geyser is full of nostalgia and love for legendary games of the past, but it wouldn’t be genuine to call it a finished product. There are too many bugs, oversights, missing content and systems.

    Great Baldur's Gate vibes. Interesting story and new mechanics not present in Baldur's Gate (Greed, Drying). Strongly recommended if you're aGreat Baldur's Gate vibes. Interesting story and new mechanics not present in Baldur's Gate (Greed, Drying). Strongly recommended if you're a fan of classic computer role-playing games! It's a breath of fresh air among "modern" games and definitely the best RPG of the year for me. Should also say that the devs are remarkably responsive and try their best to improve the already great game.… Expand

    If you liked games like Icewind dale from Black Isle, there's a good chance you'll like Black Geyser too. Game is constantly getting improvedIf you liked games like Icewind dale from Black Isle, there's a good chance you'll like Black Geyser too. Game is constantly getting improved and features added. Motivating story and good pacing with concise dialogues and 60+ side quests, engaging battles on highest difficulty towards the end of the game where realtime-with-pause combat finally has that rts gameplay from the IE games of old. You can choose from up to 9 companions for your party of 5 who cover all bases and explore 2 cities and a couple small villages plus over 20 areas.… Expand
