You might not have played Dawngate (PC)

Dawngate is a MOBA game that was in development and beta by Waystone Games, but is now canceled.

Gameplay: MOBA, Multiplayer
Dawngate does not differ too much from existing, established MOBA's like League of Legends and Dota2.
Every player controls a single unit while small npc-controled units run down lanes in order to take down enemy structures and ultimately the 'Guardian' (main building) to win the game. There is a jungle and certain map objectives. The 'Parasite' for example is the Dawngate equivalent of Baron from League of Legends, but killing him does not only grant your team a strong buff, but will also spawn stronger NPC's in your lane to help you push for victory.
It is neat little things like this that make this game unique. By giving you access to "Super Minions" before you pushed a Lane to the end, you have an easier time overcoming enemies trying to stall with aoe-clear, which in turn keeps the game more interesting and fluid.
In addition to that I really enjoy that the game appears more straight forward than DotA and LoL. While DotA is quite limited by it's Tri-Stat System that was more or less abducted from Wc3, League of Legends did a step in the right direction by enforcing its own rules and systems specifically catered to the game. This led to LoL being easier to understand and have more options to apply interesting balance to the game and its roles. Dawngate goes a step further than LoL in my opinion and delivers a very good experience.

 If you are a fan of the MOBA genre, give this game a try.

You might not have played The Feeble Files (PC)

The Feeble Files is a point and click adventure released in 1997 from Adventure Soft.

Gameplay:  Point&Click Adventure, Humor, Singleplayer
Like most of the existing p&c adventures the gameplay is mostly a puzzle of finding items and figuring out where to use them to help the protagonist do what he has to do. The setting of this game is where it gets interesting. You play as an Alien 'Feeble' that has a strange obsession with the earth and its inhabitants. This obsession has the tendancy to get him into trouble. One mistake after another and suddenly Feeble has to overthrow a distopian government.


The Feeble Files can be purchased on gog for cheap.

You might not have played The Whispered World (PC)

The whispered world is a point and click adventure from Daedalic Entertainment that was released in 2009.

Gameplay: Singleplayer, Point&Click Adventure, Humor
The whispered world is not your standard lighthearted pnc-adventure, but instead features 'Sadwick' a pessimistic clown that does not live the easiest of lives. Nonetheless some humor is still in this game to lighten up the mood from time to time.
You start your journey at your circuscaravan, where you have to do chores by using standard combination techniques. Your pet-snail Spot will be a vital help for whatever you have to do and will even learn a few tricks along your way.
To grasp the story without too much spoilers, watch the following trailer. Saying one word more could spoil the fun, but be aware the story is good.

Take a look at the first minutes of gameplay to get a feel for the game.

The game can be purchased on Steam and gog.
Also keep an eye out for Whispered world 2.

You might not have played Ehrgeiz (PSX)

Ehrgeiz is an arcade 3D fighting game from 1998 that was later ported to the Playstation. The port contains some extra minigames and an all new "Adventure Mode" that turned out to be the main attraction of the game and will in turn be the main focus of this presentation.

Gameplay(1) - Normal Game: 3D, Fighting Game, Singleplayer, Multiplayer
Because the fighting game mode of Ehrgeiz does not play very fluid for a fighting game, its only saving grace is that you can play as characters from Final Fantasy 7.


Gameplay(2) - Quest Mode: Dungeon Crawler, Single Player
The way the game is played, which is similar to a sluggish Soul Calibur game, works out in the Quest Mode of the game though. The combat will probably remind people a lot of Dark Soul. It is mandatory to block or dodge the attacks of the opponent to then retaliate with a few attacks without overcomiting and thus lowering your guard. The goal of the Quest Mode is to reach the bottom floor of a dungeon - standard Dungeon Crawler. To reach that destination you have to fight your way through various enemies and bosses. You have 2 characters (one better suited for melee combat, the other better suited for magic) to chose at a time. If you should die in the dungeon, the other one can set out to rescue the "soul" of the other character and all the items he had on him. Since your characters do level seperately, it is mandatory to switch between them regularly and keep them at a similiar level.
After certain bosses you will unlock shortcuts that allow you to leave and enter the town, where you can heal and purchase/repair equipment, on lower floors. Should you be in trouble on tough spot in the dungeon, you can use a Dragon Wing to open a portal into town (and back). This is especially important because you have to eat food in order not to starve, but at times you wont find enough food in the dungeon. What food you eat, changes the way you gain stats on level up. Eat a lot of meet, become stronger - eat vegan, gain inteligence, etc. This way you can shape your character to your liking.
The story of the Quest Mode is quite simple, your 2 characters are Archeologists that want to explore a dungeon, reason enough to fight monsters, don't you think?


To get this game I suggest searching in your local Retro-Games-Store as the price on amazon is quite high and ebay doesnt look much better. But if you are looking for a solid dungeon crawler this is a safe bet.
