Cardhalia - free dungeon crawler

[Ganimoth]

This might be interesting for dungeon crawler funs. Today was released english version of Cardhalia, a freeware dungeon crawler formely released in czech language in 2005. It's not the best dungeon crawler around, game RPG system is really basic, story is linear, but still I had lot of fun playing it few years ago.

Ah, thanks for the news, nice to have another entry in the genre, even if it's old-school dated like this, still there can be some charm

Hello,

I wanted to make a thread to this game as I ve discovered it yesterday and finally try a research in this forum at the last moment!

I like the game, looks good, older graphics, but interesting game. They have started a 2nd game, with high quality textures, but maybe the project is dead.

and a comparison between the cardhalia 1 (left) and 2 (right)


maybe you should open the picture in a new tab or window, it is too big to be visualized in the forum

the game still seems to be in development, I thought it was dead with some dates but on their forum they are talking about what's missing and have to be done in this year.

Just downloaded and started playing...

- Very poor English translation. A good attempt I suppose, but it's really hurting any possible immersion I might have enjoyed
- Gameplay seems good, reminds me a lot of Lands of Lore, that's saying something
- Party interaction seems good
- game structure/system seems fine, workable, but I've only played 30 minutes.

I probably will give it a little more time but the translation problem is somewhat of a deal breaker for me, too bad.
