Dark Gnome vs Dungeon Siege 2
Dark Gnome
Dark Gnome is a fun, pixel-style 2D fantasy RPG that's fresh from the oven from Upjers. Currently available for players who know how to read German, the game will have you set up your ultimate team of warriors and send them to battle various creatures in the game's many dungeon-like locations for amazing loot. You can recruit new heroes from the tavern and equip them with the best gear you have. You can even help injured warriors recover by sending them over to the only medical tent in town.The old-school-styled combat system in this game, on the other hand, is mainly turn-based and allows you to choose which action to take, be it to attack or to stand your ground.
Dark Gnome is a game that gives off a strong 2D dungeon crawler vibe which, I believe many players would probably enjoy. The game is currently in its Open Beta phase and once it is officially released, hopefully, Upjers will provide an English version for their global players.
Dungeon Siege 2
Dungeon Siege 2 is the sequel to the dungeon crawler game, Dungeon Siege, where it plunges you in a whole new storyline that will see you saving the world once again. In this game, the magic that has been spread out throughout the world is now being called back by an ancient being whose strength is on the rise and only you can stop it. The game has greatly improved on every aspect of its original by fleshing out its gameplay with fully customizable characters, generous amount of loot drops, challenging and compelling quests as well as plenty of hidden secrets for you to find; as well as its graphics and soundtracks.If you are interested to try the Dungeon Siege series, many would strongly recommend giving its second installment a try rather than the first. It's really a lot better than the previous in many ways and it might just make you fall in love with the series after you've done with the game. Sadly, the only unfortunate part is that the Steam version doesn't support multiplayer... still.
