Looking for games similar to...

[Trindalas]

King’s field. It was a PS1 game, but neither it nor its sequels are on steam and I was curious if anyone knows of similar games that ARE on steam. Really in the mood for that type of game lately. Wasn’t sure if this was the correct section to post this so if it needs to be moved, please do so Mods. :)

Spiritually, the Dark Souls games are similar. They just drop you in the game and you have to figure everything out. Big differences would be the way that Dark Souls features a lot of boss battles, is 3rd person and more action oriented.

Arx Fatalis is very similar. It's also a fairly old game, so aesthetically it's similar. There's a free demo on Steam if you want to try it out.

The Legend of Grimrock games are a modern take on oldschool RPGs and is sort of similar, but might not be what you're looking for. It plays different (uses a 90-degree rotation mechanic) and you have a party instead of playing a solo character.

The older Elder Scrolls: Morrowind is another one that you might enjoy.

I despise Dark Souls unfortunately. I don’t enjoy the strugglebus 🤣

As for Arx and Legend, I have not seen them, although I think I looked at the Arx page, but I think there was something about it I didn’t like but I don’t remember what. Might need to check it again.
What do you mean by 90 degree rotation movement? Meaning you can only move/look in a straight line in the cardinal directions?
I have morrowind but haven’t played much of it. My first TES game was oblivion back when it was new as I hadn’t heard of them before that, having been mostly console up till near that time. I just had a hard time getting into morrowind at the stat for some reason though, lol.

Edit: ah yes it was the “gesture based magic” that turned me off of Arx from the description. Everything else sounded good but I don’t like gesture magic, I have trouble memorizing them. I had trouble with them in Black and White, as well as one of the Myst games.

Yes. You can only move forward and can only face North, South, East, West.

I feel you about Dark Souls. I didn't enjoy it very much, either.

If you're just looking for RPGs in general, the Divinity: Original Sin games are very popular. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 are really great games and both are currently on sale at Fanatical.

I prefer free movement tbh, aside from puzzle games like Myst where click to move to specific locations is alright for me.
Turn based combat is the bane of my existence however. If I can’t run around, dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge my way through combat it just doesn’t feel right to me 🤣
That’s why I never got into final fantasy tbh. I do have one of the newer ones that allows for real time combat though. I have most if not all the Star Wars games already except for a couple of the newer ea ones that were trash (looking evilly in Battlefront 1 and 2s online only direction) and maybe 1 or 2 of the old ones. They are fun but I’m in a medieval mood not a sci-fi mood :P

I’m sure morrowind is great, I love TES, it just feels so slow and overwhelming right at the beginning, lol. I’m having trouble getting through that bit. Mass effect is great, but not medieval like I am currently looking for. And yea I hate turn based so I won’t be playing those 2, but I’ll check the pages for the others you mentioned.

Edit: Divine divinity looks fun, but it isn't first person. Dragons dogma looks fun as well, but it isn't quite what I'm looking for, though I can't pinpoint what it is exactly about the screenies that tells me that, haha. Maybe its not retro enough? I'm kinda looking for pretty old stuff with like ps1 graphics, lol. Don't ask me why as even i don't know. just the mood I'm in. That said ill prolly still pick both of those up eventually, they do look fun for sure!
Grim dawn looks fun, but neither first person nor medieval, and the rogue-like dungeon mentioned in the description worries me, permadeath isn't my thing.

you could try that mod

[Castyles]

Indeed. I can only think about Arx Fatalis.

Morrowind is a masterpiece but it's not really what you're looking for.

I take it you aren't talking about the original. :P

i do mean the 1st one

[Castyles]

I think you would like a game called The Dark Spire, too. But it's only available on the NDS.

Buy the portable and the cartridge or emulate the game, I don't really about your choice. Cheers!

I did a quick google on what's King's Field.

For old school dungeon crawlers:
Wizardry 8
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
The Quest
Betrayal Collection (Raymond E. Feist's Krondor games)
Vaporum (still a dungeon crawler but not fantasy)
Operencia: The Stolen Sun (turn based but you will never know)

For old school ARPG in Third Persons:
Sudeki
Sacrifice
Fable
Styx; Shadows of Darkness
Dragon's Dogma
Elex
Gothic & Risen Series
Argonus and the Gods of Stone
Bound By Flame
Darksiders
Demonicon
Dungeon Siege

You can browse by tags as well. In Store Page, on your left when you are in full screen, you will see options to browse by tag. Click that and look for Global Tags.

RPG is a huge genre, so you will have fun sorting out First Person, Dungeon Crawlers, etc. And they are mostly user-generated, so there will be hits and misses. For a start, here's the Dungeon Crawler's tag:

And from there, I add on another game to my wishlist:
BloodLust 2: Nemesis

Beware the Steam retail addiction. It's real.

And..there is a bundle:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6808/Gridbased_Crawling_Bundle/

I didn't read through the whole conversation above, but you have some specific requirements. What consist of grid vs turn based, I am not quite sure. So I hope there is something for you inside.

Is Blade of Darkness available here?
What about the Gothic games?

Those would be my recs.

I believe I looked for blade of darkness before, I don't think it was on here. Not sure about Gothic. Never played it nor have I seen it. Ill check it out.
