Is Elminage Gothic worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Fans of classic dungeon crawlers who want a dark fantasy setting
- RPG players who enjoy selecting from many character classes
- Players seeking a long campaign with extensive monster, spell, and item variety
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want frequent changes of activity may find the sustained dungeon-crawling structure repetitive.
- Players who do not want to learn or use the traditional THAC0 battle system may hit a wall when combat begins.
- Players seeking a game outside dark fantasy dungeon exploration may find its scope too narrow.
Our take on Elminage Gothic
The bounce point is the combat system: players who do not want to engage with traditional THAC0 rules may stop when battles begin. Others may reach the same wall earlier if extended dungeon exploration does not provide enough variety.
What is Elminage Gothic?
Elminage Gothic is a classic dungeon crawler set in Ishmag, where dark powers are beginning to return and creatures are emerging from the caves of Tsun-Kurn.
The game follows an attempt to descend into the caves, confront the growing darkness, and save the kingdom. Players can choose from 16 character classes, including Hunter, Thief, Summoner, and Valkyrie. Multiple dungeons contain more than 400 monsters, creatures, and demons, along with over 600 items to collect and equip. Combat uses the traditional THAC0 system, while more than 70 spell types provide options during the descent. The PC version adds higher-resolution art, an improved interface, and an English translation. Steam Trading Cards are also included.
