Amberland II + Soundtrack

Overview:

Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees is a classic western RPG inspired by the games from the 90s like Might & Magic, Wizardry, Ultima, the Gold Box series and others. It uses the classic first-person perspective, grid-based movement and a turn-based system, letting you travel through an open world with fast travel options and quick combat.

You lead a party of 7 adventurers, manually assembled or pre-made, on an epic adventure to fight the evil that lurks in Amberland. It’s light, fairy-tale, epic, heroic and slightly humorous. It doesn’t take tons of hours to complete or require an endless grind to progress. Basically, it’s a love letter from the 90s, the golden era of RPGs.

Notable features:

• First-person perspective, 90-degree rotation and grid-based movement (just like in the 90s).
• Turn-based (both combat and exploration).
• Party-based (7 heroes, either predefined or manually assembled when starting a new game).
• Fast-paced combat, blazing fast against much weaker enemies.
• Quick travel to reduce backtracking.
• Easy inventory management, with a separate encumbrance system for personal equipment and a bottomless magic bag for items not currently equipped.
• Open world with a big overworld to explore.
• Quests (both main storyline quests and side quests).
• Rich world lore spanning all games in the series (no knowledge of the previous games required).
  

Technical details:

The game was designed to look and feel like one of the old classics while running flawlessly on modern machines, including at very high resolutions. Its hardware requirements are very low, so it should run even on very old machines.

Relation to other games in the series:

The Legends of Amberland titles can be played in any order you wish. They share the same world and lore (historical events), but each has its own self-contained story. There may be some light references to events from earlier titles, but they are just flavor and don’t stop you from playing the games in any order.
