Here’s an RPG I’m gonna toss at you for for an odd reason: it looks in many ways like a game that came straight out of the ’90s. Aside from a more modern pixel art style and a lighting engine, Caves of Lore could well be a lost game from the days of the later Ultima games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A straightforward, single-developer indie CRPG, Caves of Lore has grid-based tactical combat, and a dungeon-crawling story of 70 to 100 hours spanning a central village of 30 NPCs and 20-some explorable areas. Though it’s definitely rich with retro feel all the way down to the UI, there is a more approachably modern sensibility to the combat design and a lot of clarity in the visuals and lighting.<\/p>\n
