Overview
Description

Abandoned Places: A Time for Heroes is a 1992 fantasy RPG where you control four heroes on a mission to stop the evil arch‑mage Bronagh and save the world of Kalynthia. The game blends a 2D top‑down overworld with 3D real‑time dungeon crawling reminiscent of Dungeon Master, offering a sandbox feel and plenty of side activities beyond the main quest. The interface lets you travel to towns by clicking symbols for services like healing or hints, while combat is point‑and‑click: select a weapon or spell, then click the monster, with cooldown timers after each use. This mix of exploration, party management, and real‑time action creates a deep, nostalgic adventure for solo players.

Set in the neon‑lit streets of 2054 Berlin, Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut lets you lead a team of shadowrunners through a conspiracy that may resurrect the legendary dragon Feuerschwinge. The standalone edition expands the original campaign with new missions, alternate endings, and deeper customization, delivering a definitive cyber‑magic experience.
