- Avernum 4: Greed and Glory Kickstarter. Help make Spiderweb's next new RPG! - 18 September 2024
We have launched the Kickstarter for our next game, and we're thrilled to finally return to the world of Avernum! Avernum 4: Greed and Glory will be an epic, indie, turn-based fantasy role-playing adventure for Windows, Mac, and iPad. It continues the saga of Avernum, a nation in caverns far under the world, full of misfits, adventures, treasures to be found, and monsters to hunt (and that hunt you). It will be a remaster of the indie RPG cult-classic Avernum 4, which came out way back in 2005. The original is a massive RPG, full of skilled warriors and wizards using a multitude of weapons, spells, and artifacts to conquer an enormous world. It is old and doesn't run well anymore. We will completely rework everything to make a great, modern game. The Kickstarter will run until October 16th and comes with a huge variety of stretch goals and backer rewards. You can get all sort of merch,…

- Geneforge 2 - Infestation review: bold and great like Baldur's Gate - 27 March 2024
Like the good works of Calvin Klein, these genes come pre-distressed. Geneforge 2 - Infestation is fresh from the rack, yet looks and functions like the CRPGs of the late 1990s. Where most isometric throwbacks these days offer a forced perspective over 3D scenes, Geneforge 2 is the real deal - its flat character sprites gliding across tiled backgrounds, with the elegant shuffle of Shōgun-era ladies-in-waiting. This look is less a nostalgic affectation than it is simply practical. Geneforge 2, like all of Jeff Vogel’s games, was made in the spare bedroom of his Seattle home with the help of his wife, Mariann Krizsan - plus a handful of artists spread more broadly. It’s the latest in a long line of low-budget Spiderweb Software RPGs to achieve sprawling scale and reactivity by leaning on cost-effective and old-fashioned production values. Here there is no voice acting, nor any ambie…
- After more than 20 years, one classic RPG has a huge new remaster - 27 March 2024
Fallout . Half-Life. Civilization. As soon as you look at some games, they just scream PC - that '90s or early '00s aesthetic which, to this day, is often imitated but never paralleled. The artwork on graphics card boxes. Early 3D cutscenes. Menus . There's an arresting visual style across all the classics of PC's golden era, something that often feels lost in the world of modern triple-A. 21 years since it first launched, one stalwart RPG - or perhaps CRPG, as has become the pseudonym for anything that's isometric and stats-driven - is finally making a comeback. With a huge new remaster available to play right now, if you want to return to the heyday of what were then called 'computer games', this is essential. Read the rest of the story...
