Nice, Straight-forward Rogue-like Game
Kamyran's Eye 2 is a Rogue-like game--that is, a computer RPG in which you control a single character in a fantasy world, and in which the world is at least partially randomly generated, so that no two games are like. It's a sequel to the original (now freeware) Kamyran's Eye, which was designed for Nokia Series 60 phones (and if you have an old N-Gage, might be worth downloading to play on it).
Unlike most Rogue-likes, Kamyran's Eye 2 has a graphical interface--attractive if retro 32x32 tiled pixels--and some nice features, including a system to allow you to make your own magic potions from items you find in the game world.
It's primarily a wilderness adventure, though there are occasional dungeons as well. One unusual aspect; enemy armies attack (and sometimes destroy) the cities of the world as the game goes on, and you can, if around during an attack, assist in their defense. The game also has a series of quests and a quest-log, as well as a nice world-map that displays areas you've discovered.
On the whole, a cute, nicely executed Rogue-like game with surprising depth of gameplay. For Linux, too.
The developer says:
Avenge your murdered mentor and find the truth behind the starting civil war.
Kamyran's Eye 2 is a graphical fantasy-themed Rogue-like role-playing game for PC available for both Windows and Linux operating systems.
It features a dynamic world that is never quite the same, armies that fight each other and burn down cities in a branching storyline with multiple endings.
Forge alliances, defend cities, explore dungeons and get to know the diverse inhabitants of Amris - before chaos engulfs them.
